Robert Mitchell Pringle (born February 9, 1979) is an American biologist and conservationist.

He is professor and director of undergraduate studies in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton University.[1][2]

Pringle's research combines field and laboratory methods to understand biological interactions and biodiversity loss in terrestrial ecosystems, chiefly African savannas.[3]

One major focus of Pringle's work has been understanding the ecological impacts of armed conflict and the dynamics of postwar ecosystem restoration in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
