| REMINDER ~ December 8 @ 1:00 pm PT ~Dr. Michelle Lute, Project Coyote National Carnivore Conservation Manager, presents:(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Coexisting What does it mean to coexist with wildlife? How do we define coexistence and measure it in the real world? Do professionals agree on how, where and when we’re coexisting with some of the most controversial carnivores? What role do animal welfare and rights considerations play in conservation and coexistence? Lastly, what are people doing to implement best coexistence practices on the ground? In this free webinar, wildlife advocate and Project Coyote National Carnivore Conservation Manager Dr. Michelle Lute explores these questions and offers preliminary answers from academic and practical perspectives, rooting discussion in case studies and real-world examples.REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED ~ PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTERDr. Lute is a conservation scientist and advocate with fifteen years’ experience in biodiversity conservation on public and private lands around the globe. She dedicates her professional life to promoting human-wildlife coexistence through effective public engagement, equitable participatory processes, and evidence-based decision-making. Across her career in academic, government, and non-profit sectors, the common thread throughout Michelle’s work is developing solutions to challenging human-wildlife issues. As is often the case, so-called human-wildlife conflicts are more about disagreements between humans and thus solutions require an interdisciplinary approach.Read Michelle’s recent op-eds here:Tell Missouri Department of Conservation not to allow trophy hunting of black bears In the age of extinction, we need wolves |

Thanks but saw this too late for Dec. 8, though perhaps can see video.
I did read link to M Lute’s op-ed on Missouri’s plan to have an annual bear season beginning Sept. 2021, that I’d rather not have read. A first since they were wiped out in Missouri in late 1800’s & by 1930 not one was to be seen. With no hunting since 1930, Missouri Dept. of Conservation, MDC now takes credit for a “successful reintroduction.’ Except bears gradually ventured back into Missouri ‘reintroducing themselves.’ But have now been sighted & looking like trophy $ signs to MDC & the state is smarter now, will leave enough to reproduce for ongoing annual seasons.
