Timeline

1934

She was the 344th Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, the third Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge since the post became full-time, and the second woman.

1948

Dame Alison Fettes Richard, (born 1 March 1948) is an English anthropologist, conservationist and university administrator.

1970

In the 1970s, in collaboration with RW Sussman (Washington University in St. Louis) and G Ramanantsoa (University of Madagascar), she helped establish a nature reserve at Beza-Mahafaly, southwest Madagascar, which was formally incorporated into the Madagascar Nature Reserve system in 1986.

For more than three decades, she has worked with colleagues to help conserve the reserve’s unique natural heritage, sponsor training and research by students from Madagascar and elsewhere, and to enhance socio-economic opportunities for people living in and around the forest.

Over the years, these conservation efforts have been funded by the Liz Claiborne Art Ortenberg Foundation, WWF, the Schwartz Foundation, and USAID.

Richard is currently a member of the Boards of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and of WWF International.

She serves as an advisor to the Liz Claiborne/Art Ortenberg Foundation, Arcadia Fund, and to the Cambridge Conservation Initiative.

She is also Chairman of the Advisory Board of the executive search firm Perrett Laver.

1984

With collaborators and students, she led a program of field observation, capture and release, anatomical measurement, and genetic and hormone sampling, of more than 700 individually known sifaka from 1984 to the present.

This is one of the largest primate populations continuously observed for such a long period.

The research has yielded valuable insights into sifaka life-histories, demography, social behavior, and genetics.

These, in turn, expand the understanding of the variation in the lives and biology of the members of the primate order.
