DeeAnn Reeder is one of the few animal researchers to have ever worked in South Sudan, where longstanding civil conflict has recently flared up again. Over the past 10 years, the Bucknell University biology and animal behavior professor has made multiple excursions deep into this war-torn but lush and biologically diverse nation, seeking images of rare animals like the recently documented forest elephant, elusive African golden cat and frequently trafficked tree pangolin.
