Kelsey Prediger is the Founder and Executive Director of the Pangolin Conservation & Research Foundation (PCRF), the secretariat of the Namibian Pangolin Working Group (NPWG), and the co-chair for southern Africa of the IUCN SSC Pangolin Specialist Group.

Kelsey completed her studies in zoology and conservation biology in the United States before her passion for conservation led her to Namibia. Once there, she completed a Masters degree in Natural Resource Management at the Namibian University of Science and Technology (NUST) focusing on the ecology of the Temminck's ground pangolin. She is involved with a number of projects whose goal is to learn more about the ecology of these nocturnal and elusive creatures, and to help provide a base of scientific knowledge from which we can better help save this species from the horrendous wildlife trafficking trade.
