Sabrina Krief

Trained as a veterinarian (National Veterinary School of Alfort, 1997), Sabrina Krief during her veterinary thesis studies the rehabilitation of orphaned chimpanzees in the wild in Congo. She then became involved in research by completing a DEA in eology and then a university thesis in phytochemistry and ecology on self-medication in wild chimpanzees in Uganda.  After a post-doc in chemistry of natural substances in Reims, she was recruited in 2004 as a lecturer at the National Museum of Natural History. Sabrina Krief is now Professor in the Eco-anthropology and Ethnobiology team at the National Museum of Natural History. Sabrina is an elected member of the Scientific Council of the Museum and Vice President of the Museum's Ethics Advisory Committee.  She was awarded a prize by the French National Academy of Medicine in 2012. She is a corresponding member of the National Academy of Medicine and a member of the French Veterinary Academy, a Knight of the National Order of Merit and the Legion of Honor.

Her research focuses on the diet, health and self-medication of great apes and their resilience to human activities.

Together with her husband Jean-Michel, a photographer, they founded the association "Projet pour la Conservation des Grands Singes" (www.sabrina-jm-krief.com) in 2006. Together, they set up conservation and awareness-raising projects for the preservation of great apes and tropical forests. They manage the team and the field station that follows wild chimpanzees every day in Sebitoli in Kibale National Park in Uganda. Together they are authors of the book "Les Chimpanzés des Monts de la Lune" (Belin-Muséum Editions) and Sabrina in October 2019 published "Les chimpanzés, mes frères de la Forêt" (Acte Sud).

Sabrina Krief is the project leader for the Museum and director of the chimpanzee research and preservation station in Uganda.
