The leadership group for iCCB had our next-to-last meeting in Berlin in December to plan our next moves for creating a new project known as CPiA (Conservation Paleontology in Africa). We are scheduling a meeting in Nairobi for June to finalize the details of this exciting outreach initiative and begin collecting data that will lead to a research program that uses functional trait-environment relationships to characterize healthy ecosystems. Stay tuned for more on this exciting project.
