Exploring options to improve traveler safety and maintain wildlife movement in a gateway to Yellowstone Yellowstone National Park’s 2.2 million acres provide critical habitat for the largest concentration of wildlife in the lower 48 states. But this habitat doesn’t stop at the park borders. Herds of elk, deer and pronghorn move in and out of
A list of state agency-supported wildlife infrastructure projects that, upon receiving necessary federal funding, would create jobs, aid local economies, and create smart infrastructure to protect wildlife and people.
“Land use-induced spillover: a call to action to safeguard environmental, animal, and human health” was published in the journal Lancet Planetary Health. The authors call for interdisciplinary collaborations to advance knowledge on land-use implications for zoonotic disease emergence with a view toward informing the decisions needed to protect human health.

People who are cat people know that cats have their own agenda. People who are dog people recognize that dogs want to share their agendas with you. We get to mix these agendas when working a detection dog to find scat from an elusive cat in Costa Rica. In the high forests of this beautiful country, hide a suite of cat species—from jaguar and cougar, to ocelot, margay and jaguarundi. And while always there, but rarely seen, is a small, spotted, nocturnal cat called oncilla. So little is known of this cat, that their scat—or poop—holds precious genetic information that can help us learn more about this declining species, and well… dogs are good at finding hard-to-find things and telling us about it.
Would you like to be part of the solution to biodiversity loss and habitat fragmentation? Do you wish to join a team in a supportive, flexible, and dynamic work environment? The Center for Large Landscape Conservation brings science, policy, and proven solutions directly to communities working to protect and restore the health and climate integrity of the planet through large-scale conservation measures. We’re a leader in the fast-growing global movement to reverse landscape fragmentation, restore nature’s resilience to climate change, and support community-led action.
This document breaks down Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, laying out the effective implementation through equitable and human rights-based action. In partnership with The Nature Conservancy, IUCN, and the World Commission on Protect Areas, this report was spearheaded by WWF and supported by the Global Environment Facility.
This past weekend, I visited the newly established Parque Nacional Río Negro Sopladora, a national park that covers more than 30,000 hectares of undisturbed habitat in Ecuador, ranging from high peaks at 12,800 feet above sea level eastwards into the humid Amazon basin, at 2,600 ft. A highlight of hiking in this lesser-known park was seeing hours-fresh footprints of mountain tapir and a large cat (my guess is cougar). It was nice to finally get my boots muddy after two weeks in the city, getting situated in the country I will call home for a month and a half.
The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies developed this toolkit focused on climate-informed landscape connectivity. The purpose is to provide state fish and wildlife agency planners and managers with the information necessary to ensure climate considerations are being accounted for and incorporated in the planning and implementation of terrestrial and aquatic connectivity initiatives.
Researchers at the Western Transportation Institute synthesized information obtained from a system-wide survey of resource managers to assess the magnitude of their concerns on the impacts of roads on park wildlife. The results characterize current conditions and help identify wildlife-transportation conflicts.
This report focuses on documenting the experiences and knowledge of practitioners, researchers, and managers with the funding, planning, design, implementation, and investigation of the effectiveness of measures taken to avoid, mitigate or compensate for the effects of roads and traffic on the federally threatened Mojave desert tortoise. This report was prepared under the guidance of
