Facilitating long-term coexistence between people and large carnivores is a persistent, global conservation challenge. Since 2009, the  Waterton Biosphere Reserve’s Carnivores and Communities Program has been helping rural communities in southwestern Alberta find ways to share the landscape with large carnivores. I will share information about the program, some of the challenges we’ve encountered, and results from our recent program evaluation.

Speaker is Andrea Morehouse a biological consultant working out of the Pincher Creek area.
