An important part of our two-day training workshop was giving students and conservationists the opportunity to gain new skills in preparing specimens for scientific research, including taking tissue samples for later genetic analyses. This section of the workshop was led by Eli Greenbaum and myself and we also benefitted from participation by two students (Greg Jongsma and Dan Portik) that arrived in Ruhija that same afternoon.
