Wildlife genetics can teach us about the health and connectivity of wildlife populations. By studying genetics over large landscapes, we can identify priority areas and evolutionarily significant populations. This helps build informed conservation policies and species recovery plans by establishing a baseline and defining measurable outcomes.

The Pakistan Wolf Project is studying the evolutionary history of wolves in Pakistan and building scientific capacity for further genetic research. Dr. Hira Fatima and Dr. Rubab Naqvi each run labs with their own students at their respective institutions in Pakistan. With their combined expertise and support from Dr. Lauren Hennelly, the team is collecting genetic samples from hair, tissue, and fecal samples to conduct genetic research.
