SES Explorer 2020 - Iris Berger Application Video

Iris Berger won the SES Explorer Award for Inspirational & Scientific Trailblazing in 2020 for her 'Moyen-Bafing Lion Project' expedition. Iris is a Conservation Biologist and National Geographic Explorer from Austria. She has walked across Sumatra, studied chimpanzee diet and tool- use in Uganda and researched mammal diversity in the Cerrado savannah, Brazil. Iris is currently doing a Masters’ degree in Biodiversity, Conservation and Management at the University of Oxford. She will be leading three of her coursemates (Emma Vovk, Hannah Nicholas and Philippe Roberge) to study the viability of lion and leopard populations in north-western Guinea. Until recently, lions were thought to be extinct in Guinea, but camera trap footage has shown otherwise. They will assess whether Moyen-Bafing National Park is home to a viable lion population and/or has the potential to be so in the future...and whether big-cat wildlife corridors to Senegal exist. Award supported by the Rowan Bentall Charitable Trust, O’Hea Family Trust, Avocet Insurance Consultants, Pam Coleridge and the Trustees of SES.
