Panthera

Andrea Heydlauff serves as Panthera's Vice President, where she helps oversee the day to day operations of the organization. Since January 2010, she has managed Panthera’s Communications and Media programs, including the development of the organization’s website, media coverage, government relations, and independent films (‘My Pantanal’) for local and international audiences. Before coming to Panthera, Andrea served as the Tiger Program Coordinator for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), where she coordinated the Panthera-WCS Tigers Forever program, and was a researcher and author on the WCS, World Wildlife Fund, and Save the Tiger Fund Tiger Conservation Landscape project: Setting Priorities for the Conservation and Recovery of Wild Tigers: 2005 – 2015. Born in England, Andrea earned her B.A. in British Literature and M.Sc. in Wildlife Biology from the University of Arizona (2003). Her Master’s thesis focused on mitigating conflicts among humans, cattle and elk. Her interests lie heavily in human dimensions of conservation, community engagement, communications, and education – all of which are critical in conserving the world’s wild cats.
