Project Coyote Science Advisory Board Member Dr. Adrian Treves founded the Carnivore Coexistence Lab at the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research on how to balance human needs with wildlife conservation entails deep exploration of people’s conflicts with large carnivores, with a particular focus on livestock predation in the USA and abroad. This line of inquiry includes livestock husbandry, wildlife management, human and carnivore behavior, and methods for preventing human-carnivore conflicts.
In this free webinar, Adrian will be presenting a critical evaluation of the legal and illegal killing of native predators. Among other topics, he will discuss whether scientific evidence supports the hypothesized benefits of predator-killing policies, and will give a scientific perspective on future policy recommendations.
Following his talk, Adrian will take questions (via Chat) from attendees. The webinar is expected to last approximately one hour.
