Evan Eifler
Profile
Born and raised in Wisconsin, the land of Leopold and the land ethic, Evan Eifler is both an avid student of ecology as well as a compulsive photographer. Combining these skills has led him to his work as a National Geographic Young Explorers Grantee in the Western Cape of South Africa where he is working with local conservation groups to survey and document one of the rarest vegetation types in the world, the renosterveld, while informing and educating farmers of the importance of its conservation. Evan will be starting his PhD researching the functional extinction of ecosystems in September.
