Amy Vedder Biography

Amy Vedder is one of the most popular and richest Ecologist who was born on March 24, 1951 in Palatine Bridge, New York, United States.

Vedder worked in Africa for the Peace Corps from 1973 to 1975. There she and her husband William Weber (Bill) worked in a small boarding school in rural south central Zaire. There she taught the girls by reminding them “You’re special – don’t ever forget that”. One day they asked her why she changed her name to her husband’s if she believed everyone was special. She then decided to change her last name from Weber back to Vedder upon returning to the United States. Her time in Zaire inspired her interest in Wildlife Conservation. This feeling intensified at Zaire’s Kahuzi-Biega National Park where she observed Casimir, an enormous male eastern lowland gorilla. This encounter made her want to work with wildlife in Africa after the Peace Corps.

In 1975, Vedder returned to the United States where she began searching for a graduate school where they could launch her career in wildlife conservation. She and Bill chose the University of Wisconsin- Madison. From one of their graduate program classmates, the couple learned about British Primatologist, Richard Wrangham who recently visited Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. In October 1977 Amy and Bill met Dian Fossey in Chicago, where she accepted their research proposal and set a tentative date for their arrival in Rwanda.
