Andrew\u2019s current work is focused on lions in the northern Okavango Delta, Botswana. He has co-authored over a dozen peer-reviewed research manuscripts, conducted national surveys for leopards and led the IUCN Red List global status update for leopards, eventually uplisting their conservation status to Vulnerable. Andrew is also a member of the IUCN Cat Specialist Group, African Lion Working Group, Kavango-Zambezi Carnivore Conservation Coalition and Adjunct Faculty at UMass Amherst.
