Elizabeth Guzman is an undergraduate student studying Environmental & Sustainability at Cornell University. In 2023, Ms. Guzman was selected as a Doris Duke Conservation Scholar to study conservation management methods in Seattle over a 2-summer period. From these experiences, she has learned about how native tribes such as the Quinault nation manage forestry and fishery habitat for both cultural and economic benefits. She has also focused on the multidisciplinary approach to conservation and storytelling methods tied to certain land and animals.
To continue her research in wildlife conservation, Elizabeth wants to expand on the social ecological aspects of environmentalism by working with Dr. Keith and PhD student Francine on trophy hunting. Through survey analysis and communicating with individuals that are involved in trophy hunting, she can better understand the relationship between data collection and outreach. Her goal is to learn more about sustainable hunting and applying it to better the state of wildlife conservation.
