Jenna Alland is an undergraduate student at Cornell University majoring in Industrial and Labor Relations. In 2022, Ms. Alland was selected for the Cornell Institute of African Development Undergraduate Research Internship. Her research, guided by Cornell Law Professor Muna Ndulo, examined Zambia’s Institutional and Legal Framework for Animal Rights and Wildlife Conservation. Specifically, she researched the lack of interagency cooperation on cases of wildlife crime and bribery, and the constitutional feasibility of the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s proposed Room to Roam Plan (a Southern African wildlife connectivity corridor).

It was through this research that she met PhD student Francine Barchett and learned of Francine’s research on hunting and conservation. Ms. Alland joined Francine and Dr. Keith Tiball’s lab in the Spring Semester of 2023. As a Texas native, she hopes to further her knowledge of sustainable hunting as it applies to long-term sustainable growth and international development.
