Mary Hagedorn has been a Research Scientist at the Smithsonian Institution for the past 20 years. She has worked in aquatic ecosystems around the world from the Amazon to Africa, has taught many university-level classes, lectures frequently to lay audiences, maintains an active laboratory with graduate students and post docs, and is a successful researcher and active grant writer. Hagedorn’s innovative, interdisciplinary work uses basic science to address conservation challenges for threatened coral reefs.
We have created the science and have help applied these technologies to create coral

Rob Fleischer is research associate and former head of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation Genomics. His primary fields of interest are evolutionary and conservation biology. He conducts individual and collaborative research in population and evolutionary genetics, systematics, and molecular and behavioral ecology, mostly on free-ranging bird and mammal species, and their pathogens. Many of his recent projects use genomic, transcriptomic and microbiome methods. Fleischer has particular interest in:

Susette Castañeda is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation Genomics and at George Mason University under the program Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation. Castañeda is an evolutionary biologist, primarily focused on understanding many aspects of the evolutionary history and systematics of mammals, including population genetics, phylogeography, biogeography and phylogenomics, as well as methodology for sequencing DNA from ancient and noninvasive samples.

Michael G. Campana specializes in analysis of animal and pathogen genomics using a combination of ancient DNA and computational genomics. At the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation Genomics (NZCBI), his research focuses on the genomics of lions, elephants, Hawaiian honeycreepers, avian malaria, and canids among others. Another primary research line has been the development of DNA capture assays to analyze variation in animal and pathogen populations over time and space.

Meet the loggerhead shrike—a beautiful songbird with a gruesome reputation for impaling its prey on thorns and barbs. More frightening than the “butcher bird’s” hunting habit is the reality that their populations are in steep decline. Since 2005, the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) has worked to breed and reintroduce this bird back into the wild. Get an inside glimpse of what it takes to care for and conserve shrikes from bird keeper Leighann Cline! 
In this setting, they can see, hear and interact with one another, but still have

My current research focuses are: 1) developing and utilizing assisted reproductive technologies for improved carnivore reproduction; 2) understanding management-based causes of infertility in captive-held carnivores; 3) improving management and health for more efficient reproduction, and 4) evaluating the comparative reproduction, genomics and health of ex situ and wild cheetahs.   
I have been the SSP Program Leader for cheetahs since 2014, guiding the management

Last Saturday, Aug. 21, was a big day for our “little miracle.” Giant panda cub Xiao Qi Ji celebrated his first birthday and shared not one but two delicious fruitsicle cakes with his mother, Mei Xiang.
While Xiao Qi Ji dawdled near the Panda House, Mei Xiang made a b-line for the sweet

Meet the four clouded leopards who call the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute home. Pounce from Washington D.C. with Asia Trail keepers Kaitlyn Adkins and Jenny Spotten, to Front Royal, Virginia with animal keeper Jessica Kordell to learn more about these cool cats.

Robert Rice’s research centers around the intersection of humankind’s most intimate relation with the earth—agricultural production—and the impact this has upon physical and social landscapes, with special attention to environmental and social change. His work is directed toward land use studies related to migratory bird habitat. Rice’s approach draws upon agroecology and incorporates land use practices and policy in Latin America and the U.S., with a focus on agroforestry systems and their linkages, impacts and benefits within the ecological and social realms.
Certification systems developed for conservation goals have also been a subject of

Always free of charge, the Smithsonian’s National Zoo is one of Washington D.C.’s, and the Smithsonian’s, most popular tourist destinations, with more than 2 million visitors from all over the world each year. The Zoo instills a lifelong commitment to conservation through engaging experiences with animals and the people working to save them.
