| WHAT: |
Encounters
between cougars and humans have been steadily increasing over
the past five to eight years. Are these interactions caused by
increasing cougar populations, increasing human use and development,
or both? |
|
Join
Howard Quigley, president of the Hornocker Wildlife Institute
at the University of Idaho, for a slide-illustrated lecture as
he addresses the status of cougars in the Northwest, cougar-human
interactions and cougar safety tips. |
|
Quigley
has conducted fieldwork on jaguars and cougars in South America.
In addition, he oversees extensive in situ research on
black bears, cougars, Amur leopards and Siberian tigers. His post-doctoral
work on cougars in central Idaho documented long- term changes
in cougar populations. His current involvement with cougar studies
at Yellowstone and Redwood National Parks will examine wolf impacts
on cougars and cougar-human interactions. |
