Dr. Lucy H. Spelman grew up with a menagerie of animals on an old dairy farm in rural Connecticut. She earned her veterinary degree from the University of California at Davis, and completed her post-doctoral training at North Carolina State University. Dr. Lucy's work experience includes nearly ten years with the Smithsonian's National Zoo, half as a clinical veterinarian, and half as its director. She joined the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project in October 2006 as its Africa-based regional manager.

In addition to writing, she has been filmed at work with animals in more than a dozen cable television documentaries, and has served as a consultant for various media and education divisions of Discovery Communications, Inc.

Lucy is a member of the Karanambu Trust board of trustees. For more about The Karanambu Trust read Evi Paemelaere's blog, The Rupununi Report and visit The Karanambu Trust Web site.
