Koepcke era una autoritat molt respectada en l’ornitologia sud-americana, en una època en què el camp estava dominat en gran mesura per homes, i encara avui es fa referència al seu treball. Pels seus esforços, és commemorada en els noms científics de quatre espècies d'aus peruanes i, juntament amb el seu marit, una espècie d'[[Microlophus|iguana]] peruana. |

Biografia
Maria Emilie Anna von Mikulicz-Radecki va néixer a Leipzig,Saxònia, Alemanya, el 15 de maig de 1924,[1] the daughter of Felix von Mikulicz-Radecki, a university professor of gynaecology, and Käthe Finzenhangen.[2] Her father's family descended from Polish nobility and the Polish surgeon Jan Mikulicz-Radecki was a relative of hers.
As a young woman, Koepcke set out to study animals. It was in 1949 that Koepcke obtained her doctorate in zoology from the University of Kiel. During her time in Kiel, she met her future husband, Hans-Wilhelm Koepcke, also a student of zoology. After receiving their degrees, the two traveled to Peru in order to study birds and other wildlife native to the area and they were married there in 1950.[1] They lived in Miraflores, a suburb of Lima, and managed Casa Humboldt,[3] a visitor's centre, until it closed in 1967. The Koepckes’ only child, a daughter named Juliane Margaret Beate Koepcke, was born in Lima in 1954.[4]
Koepcke died at the age of 47 following the crash of LANSA Flight 508 in the Peruvian jungle.[5] On 24 December 1971, she and Juliane boarded the ill-fated flight to travel to Pucallpa, where Hans-Wilhelm was working at the time, to spend Christmas there with him. The plane crashed due to a lightning strike during a heavy storm. Separated during the crash, it later was determined that Maria had been mortally wounded and died several days afterward from her injuries. Her daughter, Juliane, wound up being the only survivor of the crash, having fallen from 10,000 feet, still strapped into her seat that, apparently, cushioned her landing. Although injured, without food, and failing to find her mother, the teenager then hiked for eleven days through the rainforest until she found help.[4]
At the time of her death, Koepcke was a department head for a natural history museum affiliated with the National University of San Marcos in Lima and a member of the German Ornithologists' Society.[1]
After Koepcke's death, Hans-Wilhelm and Juliane both left Peru for Germany, Juliane in 1972, and Hans-Wilhelm in 1974. Hans-Wilhelm lived in Hamburg, teaching zoology at the University of Hamburg until his death in 2000. Like her parents, Juliane studied zoology at the University of Kiel. She became a mammalogist, specializing in the study of bats.[4]
