普茲茅斯大學比較與演化心理學中心資深講師。我研究動物行為,對於理解大型哺乳類動物的社交能力和智力特別感興趣。我大部分的研究是關於非洲莽原象,我正與我的國際合作者們一同研究保育和管理大象的最佳方式。我試著善用我對大象行為的了解,去鼓勵採取永續、公平且有效的保育措施。Senior Lecturer in Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology, University of Portsmouth. I study animal behaviour, and am particularly interested in understanding the social skills and intelligence of large mammals. Most of my research is about African savannah elephants and, with my international collaborators, I’m investigating how best to conserve and manage elephant populations. I try to use my knowledge of elephant behaviour to encourage sustainable, fair and effective conservation practices.黎安.普洛普斯(Leanne Proops)

普茲茅斯大學動物行為與福利學系副教授。我的研究專長是動物行為與福利,我樂於尋找方式來確定動物是如何理解其社會世界。我的許多研究項目側重於家馬、驢和騾的溝通與認知,我也對比較生死學(研究動物對死亡的反應)很感興趣。除了研究動物的心理,我也熱衷於進行應用研究,以改善動物福利。我採用福利一體(肯定動物、人類與環境間的互聯性)的方法,並與國際非政府組織合作,為役用馬科動物和靠它們維生的人類增進福祉。Associate Professor in Animal Behaviour and Welfare, University of Portsmouth. My research expertise is in animal behaviour and welfare. I enjoy trying to find ways to determine what animals understand about their social world. Many of my projects focus on domestic horse, donkey and mule communication and cognition. I'm also fascinated by the field of comparative thanatology – the study of animals’ responses to death. As well as studying animal minds, I'm passionate about conducting applied research to improve animal welfare. Taking a One Welfare approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of animals, humans and the environment, I work with international NGOs to improve the welfare of working equids and the people whose livelihoods depend on them.
