My name is James Herrera. I'm a researcher and program coordinator at the Duke Lemur Center -SAVA Conservation Initiative, Duke University, as well as Adjunct Professor in the Duke Global Health Institute. My previous work includes a postdoctoral research position with Duke University's Evolutionary Anthropology department and a postdoctoral fellowship at the American Museum of Natural History. I received my Ph.D. from Stony Brook University in 2015. My interests include conservation and sustainability, biodiversity, primates, and especially Madagascar. 

I made this site to share information about my projects, including summaries of findings and updates about publications as they come out. I also want to share pictures from the field and hopefully everyone can get a little taste of Madagascar.
