UWcas's video: Dee Boersma: Indianapolis Prize Gala Video 2016

P. Dee Boersma, a University of Washington professor of biology and Wadsworth Endowed Chair in Conservation Science, was one of six finalists for the prestigious Indianapolis Prize for conservation — the highest honor for animal conservationists — which has been awarded every other year since 2006. For more than three decades, Boersma has studied and advocated for penguins in South America, particularly Magellanic penguins in Argentina. Through research, conservation and outreach endeavors, she has educated the public and government officials on the need to conserve and protect penguin habitat and feeding grounds and view these birds as key indicators of ocean health.
