Our Partners

In 1991, The Mpala Wildlife Foundation in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, Princeton University, the Kenya Wildlife Service, and the National Museums of Kenya established the Mpala Research Centre. The main goal of the partner organizations was to create a site for multidisciplinary research and training in Africa. The University of Michigan joined as a partner in 2011.
