We are the Living with Wildlife (LivWild) Lab at Oregon State University! 🐾 We explore how humans and wildlife interact, share space, and influence one another. The primary goal of the lab is to seek ways to balance the needs of both people and wildlife (1/2). ⛰️ #WildlifeResearch

Very important and timely new paper on the "future trajectories of species recovery and management in Europe" by the brilliant
@hannalp.bsky.social and Erica Von Essen!
Hot from the @consletters.bsky.social press: "Now What? The Conundrum of Successful Recovery of Wolves and Other Species for European Conservation", where Erica Von Essen and I discuss future trajectories of species recovery and management in Europe. Here summarised by @sthlmresilience.bsky.social.
🐺 Wolves and other large carnivore species are making a comeback in Europe.
Yet current conservation policies are still geared toward protecting species on the brink of extinction. This no longer reflects reality, argue researchers in a new commentary. www.stockholmresilience.org/5.1a496cd119...

Early word we'll have funding to recruit a Post-Doc in the Human Dimensions of Wildlife space - specifically working on hunter behaviors in deer management across several midwestern states. On the ground work, experiments, many academic & agency partners! Spread the word to any potential applicants.
