OUR PROJECTS IN THE FIELD
In addition to our original northern Utah mountain lion studies, we're currently partnering with mountain lion researcher Joshua Lisbon on the Grand Staircase-Escalante Cougar Project as well as with the Wild Cat Imaging Project. In the past we have also assisted Brigham Young University and the Division of Wildlife Resources on the Central Region Cougar Study.
Through collaboration and storytelling, we bring people closer to these remarkable predators and the landscapes they depend on. Be sure to follow this page for more photos and videos from the field!
THE GRAND STARICASE ESCALANTE PROJECT
The GSE Cougar Project is conducting a detailed, longitudinal study of mountain lions in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) in Southern Utah. This research study uses noninvasive methods to track individual mountain lions, in order to assess population density and health, determine genetic diversity and relatedness, explore social and behavioral patterns, and identify their unique role and impact on the landscape. The goal is to engage local communities, raise awareness about cougar ecology and conservation, and foster positive attitudes toward coexistence with mountain lions.

THE WILDCAT IMAGING PROJECT
We are also working with the Wild Cat Imaging Project, a global organizations that uses cutting edge camera trapping, scientific research, and powerful imagery to document and protect wild cats across their natural ranges. Through collaboration and storytelling, we bring people closer to these remarkable predators and the landscapes they depend on.
