Sara’s graduate research focused on the effects of forest edge and surrounding landscape on mammal populations within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Other research interests and experience include the conservation of vertebrate populations, with an emphasis on mammalian, avian, and amphibian populations. Currently she is part of the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program. This program was developed to inventory and monitor natural resources in 270 U.S. parks. Sara’s position entails managing natural resource data for eight parks along the Atlantic coast, as well as working with cooperators to develop network vertebrate and vascular plant inventories.
