Wildlife Conservation Video for Bay Area Puma Project
If you’re concerned about wildlife conservation like me, you might agree it’s really important to understand the issues. For instance, the many challenges puma face in California. Fortunately people like Joe want to tell their story in a video. When Joe was a graduate student he worked with the Bay Area Puma Project and researched the puma populations in the San Francisco Bay area. As a result of this project more people are informed.
Public Lands & Gunnison Public Lands Initiative
Most people agree Colorado is home to amazing public lands. And different groups want to use them for different interests. In the Gunnison Valley a collaboration project was formed called the Gunnison Public Lands Initiative (GPLI). And here’s more information about the project from the GPLI website: “A coalition of ten local organizations. The interests represented in the coalition include ranching, water resources, motorized use, conservation, mountain biking, recreation, and hunting and angling. The goal of the coalition is to protect public lands, enhance a strong and sustainable economy, and support historic uses of public lands. To accomplish this goal the GPLI aims to create a successful designation that enjoys broad support, is technically sound, and best serves the community.” Also, please enjoy the beautiful Colorado scenery!
Wildlife Conservation & Evaluating Gunnison Sage-grouse
I’ve enjoyed birding my entire life. Eventually my hobby became more serious and as a result I studied bird bioacoustics with the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University. While I was a graduate student I had the good fortune of being a mentee to Dr. Jessica Young—whose research resulted in the recognition of the Gunnison Sage-grouse as a new species. So it may not surprise you this project will always be a favorite. More importantly, the project is incredibly important for the Gunnison Sage-grouse species and our current understanding of how the species is impacted by climate change.
Food Security and Community Farming
Community farming is hard work! As a result it’s a 24/7 commitment. Besides that, there’s so much more to farming than really cute piglets. Did you know community farming addresses food security issues, and uses sustainable practices in the Colorado mountains?
