Hello, my name is Haley Houghton. I am a Senior at Marlboro College in Marlboro, Vermont where I am
studying Conservation Biology and writing my senior thesis – an exploration of both in situ and ex situ
conservation efforts. I have already completed the ex situ portion of my thesis with an internship at
Capron Park Zoo where I conducted behavioral research on sloth bears (Melursus ursinus). This
summer, along with assisting Luke Dollar with his research, I will also be collecting data for the in
situ section of my senior thesis. This is my first trip to Madagascar and my first time as a field research
assistant, but I hope to continue my involvement with conservation programs in the future as well.
