How We Make Our Mark

The Kartzinel Lab maximizes our impact by collaborating with conservation organizations, parks and conservancies, and communities around the world.

We use genomic data to define management units, assess health and nutrition, and guide conservation management decisions on the ground.

New Initiative: Sloth Conservation Genomics​

Genetic variation underpins species resilience — yet obtaining the data needed to guide conservation policy is a perennial challenge.

In partnership with the Sloth Conservation Foundation, we have launched a new conservation genomics initiative to map population structure and connectivity in wild sloths using portable DNA sequencers directly in the field.

Your support helps generate the genetic data needed to guide habitat protection, translocation decisions, and long-term conservation planning for some of the most iconic mammals of the tropics.
