The Sausalito Women’s Club will host Dr. Quinton Martins for a fascinating update on local mountain lions. Since 2016, Dr. Martins has studied the movement of mountain lions fitted with GPS collars in the North Bay to better understand mountain lion ecology, connectivity and challenges these enigmatic animals face in this fragmented landscape. He collared a Marin lion tagged P60, the largest he’s ever seen here in California, described “really beautiful” and a fascinating thing about him – he swims across our lakes!
Dr. Martins, is the Principal Investigator of the Living with Lions Project, a partnership between All Hands Ecology and True Wild Conservation.
If you live in California, the odds are almost 50-50 that you live in mountain lion habitat.
When the number one threat to wildlife worldwide is loss of habitat, we can no longer think of our cities, towns, neighborhoods, or even our backyards as exempt from the natural world – or as off-limits to wildlife. We need to expand our view and realize that our shared spaces are as essential to conservation as our traditional protected lands. We need to create a new model of suburban and urban wildlife refuge. ~ Beth Pratt Bergstrom ~
