Conservation efforts for low-density species must be carefully planned to reduce the risk of extinction and cause a cascade of changes throughout the ecosystem. Learn more here: tinyurl.com/43jhwtj3

this project aims to create a wildlife corridor to ensure the bobcat can expand its population safely. The corridor will be named Bobcat Alley!

Camera traps tell us where animals are as well as how they use their habitat. Images like these give valuable insights into animal behavior and species activity patterns throughout the day and night.

Maintaining critical wildlife corridors allows the exchange of genetics to continue. Without it, they could face extinction within 50 years.

Since 2020, 6 of 9 subpopulations, falling within the Central/Southern Coast, have been recognized as Candidate Endangered Species, 5 of which have fewer than 50 individuals left.

From clearing vegetation to performing a walk test, each station goes through the same protocol to ensure we are consistent throughout the study.

After cameras are placed, they are left for 1-2 months before we return to review the footage!

Unifying well-preserved areas with buffer zones across fragmented habitat, the initiative hopes to serve as a model for maintaining connectivity across other fragmented landscapes. Read more: tinyurl.com/3aswjuru #HabitatFragmentation #Jaguar #SouthAmerica #Conservation #EcosystemHealth

One project aims to create an unprecedented wildlife corridor that spans 4 South American countries and almost 2.5m square kilometers, giving animals safe routes to access food, shelter and mates.

In highly fragmentated habitats like OC, dispersing juveniles are more likely to encounter humans as they learn to navigate the landscape.

These cyclists knew how to respond to such an encounter- They made themselves big, made noise, did not turn their backs, and then they slowly moved away.

-making them potentially more vulnerable to disease and less adaptable to environmental changes. Read more: tinyurl.com/3ueux6kw #snowleopard #geneticdiversity #wildcats

Placing camera traps requires expert knowledge of the landscape, cat behavior, and camera trapping techniques. As the team continues to place cameras, we are incredibly excited to see what our cameras record!

Stay tuned for more.

#WorldEcologyDay #Biodiversity #Conservation #Puma #UmbrellaSpecies #WildlifeConservation

This #WorldEcologyDay, we’re highlighting the puma! As an umbrella species, conserving pumas and their territories helps protect all the species that live within them.

Pumas also provide top-down population control and help reduce the spread of diseases — including those that can affect humans.
