In the late 1990s, as the interdisciplinary field of conservation medicine was gaining strength, Lynne welcomed the opportunity offered by the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project (MGVP) to incorporate preventative human health interventions as part of their expanding mountain gorilla conservation strategy.
