The dean of the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, John Koprowski, has been named the 2022 recipient of The Wildlife Society’s Aldo Leopold Memorial Award, the highest award given by the 11,000-member organization of professional wildlife scientists.

Koprowski, a mammalogist, conservation biologist and leading expert on the ecology and conservation of wildlife, receives the award for distinguished service to wildlife conservation. The first UW faculty member to receive the honor, he joins luminaries in the field including Olaus Murie (1952) and John Craighead (1998), whose names are familiar in Wyoming for their conservation efforts in the greater Yellowstone area.
