Hunters, First Nations and the community are key to helping us manage CWD to protect our wildlife. (2/4)

Great to see how this work continues to bridge science and policy and is being used as a scientific basis for guiding a coexistence-oriented policy.

It is now cited in 500+ studies across all continents, informing research and policy on wolves, elephants, ungulates, urban wildlife and more.
