The Distinguished Faculty Achievement Awards honor senior faculty who have consistently demonstrated outstanding achievements in scholarly research or creative endeavors, teaching and mentoring of students and junior colleagues, service and other activities. Among the recepients this year, is Professor Andrew Marshall: 

Andrew Marshall is internationally known for his pioneering research in primate evolutionary ecology, population biology and tropical forest conservation. His scholarship has redefined the understanding of conserving endangered tropical taxa and ecosystems. He has published over 120 articles and book chapters and authored the definitive classroom text, “An Introduction to Primate Conservation.” Marshall’s three decades of fieldwork throughout Indonesia have shaped conservation policies, including leading the reclassification of Bornean orangutans as critically endangered. His research is widely cited, advancing both theoretical understanding and on-the-ground practice, from new approaches to conservation policy to clarifying the impacts of climate change on wildlife. Additionally, he has spent over 20 years training local scientists, NGOs and park staff, and was formally recognized by Indonesia’s Minister of Forestry for these contributions and asked him to develop training materials for the country’s 8,000+ forest rangers. Stateside, he’s advised the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Nature Conservancy, and Flora-Fauna International. Marshall has advised the U.S. State Department, USAID, The Nature Conservancy, and Flora-Fauna International.
