Bobbe Fitzgibbon holds a BS in Biology from Clarion University in Pennsylvania and an MS in Entomology from Rutgers University in New Jersey.  During her graduate work she took a class in Seashore Entomology during which she banded egrets and herons removing louse specimens from the birds in the process.  During vertebrate pest management she did some mounting of bird and mammal specimens.  She worked at the Insect Zoo at the Smithsonian Institution where she cared for and reared insects for handling and display.  For 10 years she was a beekeeper at one point managing 50 hives.  She has worked as an entomologist for the Forest Service for 17 years.  She is a catcher in prairie dog suddsing operations for Habitat Harmony.

Emily Nelson is currently a graduate student at Northern Arizona University in the Department of Biological Sciences with an emphasis in wildlife conservation biology.  Emily also works as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project, a southwest regional coalition working to return wolves to their historic range in the Grand Canyon ecoregion.  She has worked as a field biological technician, researcher, and environmental educator with many species of mammals and birds in Northern Arizona over the past 7 years.  Her graduate research is focused on the survival success of translocated Gunnison's prairie dogs in the Flagstaff area.  She started as a volunteer with Habitat Harmony, Inc. in 2003 during the Flagstaff Mall's expansion site prairie dog relocation.  Emily strongly supports Habitat Harmony's role in being an advocate and providing a voice to the "under dogs" of our wildlife neighbors.

Paula Lewis is the only overseas board member and contributes her time through the wonderful world of technology (mainly the internet).  She left her post as the Project Director for the Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project to return home to Australia to reconnect with her family and friends after living in the US for 13 years.  Paula holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of New Mexico and a Master’s of Science in Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.  Her graduate work focused the link between animal cruelty and human violence.  Prior to her work in the animal and conservation fields, Paula lived on the Navajo Reservation for several years and was a high school counselor for at-risk and parenting teens.  She connects deeply with the mission and values of Habitat Harmony and believes we are all intimately linked to the health of the earth and is excited to be a part of such a diverse Board.

Chris Campbell, legal secretary and Habitat's Relocation Coordinator, has also served as a past Executive Director.  She coordinated 3 successful relocations.  The largest of these was in 2003 at the Flastaff Mall expansion site.  The expansion site covered 92 acreas of rough terrain.  The project involved 2 weeks of observing and mapping family groups, experimenting with Arizona Game and Fish Department to find the best bait mixture, supervising over 60 volunteers, trapping for 3 weeks and moving 299 prairie dogs.  Chris reports that watching the prairie dogs scurry into their new burrows and hearing them call out to welcome newly arriving family members will stand out as some of the most satisfying moments in her life. In 2005 Chris researched different methods of relocating prairie dogs, resulting in the research report, "Relocation Techniques for Gunnison's Prairie Dogs."  Her work with Habitat has also included implementing a system to distribute and track the distribution of the brochure "Our Prairie Dog Neighbors."

Even though Chris is relocating herself to Oklahoma, she will continue to be active with Habitat Harmony as a consultant, and may travel back to Arizona to assist with future relocations.
