Senior🎓
Top SchoolMeredith Palmer is a conservation scientist and technologist with 11 years of field and research experience applying camera-trap, citizen science, and data-driven approaches to ecosystem monitoring and species protection. Currently at Yale after leading conservation technology strategy and capacity-building at Fauna & Flora International, she combines hands-on fieldwork in African reserves with designing scalable tech-enabled monitoring programs. She co-founded multiple long-term camera-trap networks and citizen science platforms (Snapshot Safari, Eyes on the Wild, WildCam Gorongosa) that integrate machine learning and volunteer classification to accelerate ecological insights. Meredith’s work bridges rigorous ecological research—spanning Serengeti lion demography to restoration ecology in Gorongosa—with pragmatic solutions for remote, resource-limited contexts. Based in Colorado, she’s known for translating complex technical tools into accessible conservation action for partners and practitioners.
