Well said!. Furthermore, the habitat and co-occurring predators and prey that this species evolved with are no longer present (never mind the immense ethical and legal hurdles for ever re-introducing most of the species being discussed). This seems to be more a money-driven endeavor than anything.

I second all of Aerin’s comments about this program! I, too, was a 2015 Wilberforce Fellow, and it significantly changed both the way I look at my career, and my relationships with colleagues.

Thanks for serving in this valuable role, Meade. Despite all of this, your contributions to the field continue to be invaluable.

Exciting stuff! Bummer that “implying that UD models are not useful for rare species” 😔. Looks like there’s still a ways to go to crack that nut. I’m happy to see people trying, however!

I would love to be added…thanks! Mostly mesocarnivores…and, family-wise, primarily mustelids, felids, canids. Both wildland and urban. Policy and coexistence-wise, grizzly bears and wolves.
