| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Research Programs:Lynx and Wildfire Project: Entering its third year, this project continues to answer critical questions about how lynx navigate landscapes transformed by climate-driven wildfires. In 2024, we GPS-collared 4 lynx, backtracked nearly 40 lynx trails, and collected important vegetation data from the habitats that lynx chose to use in burned areas. Exciting findings show lynx not only survive but reproduce in these burned landscapes, highlighting their value for conservation.Community Science and Outreach: We expanded our Human-Bear Coexistence project, engaging over 30 volunteers who walked 160 miles of transects to collect data on critical bear food resources. This effort led to a partnership with Defenders of Wildlife and the publication of the Methow Valley Community Bear Assessment, as well as the official formation of the Methow Bear Coalition.Academic and Research Collaborations: We partnered with the University of Washington and the University of British Columbia to onboard two graduate students, whose efforts are advancing our understanding of lynx habitat in burned landscapes. |
