Let’s Collaborate
As California navigates the social and ecological realities of large carnivore recovery, the human impact is as vital as the biological one. Landowners or livestock producers located in wolf‑active areas are encouraged to reach out to express interest in participating in research or learning more about the project.
Because our project is multidisciplinary, we rely on diverse partnerships and collaborations from a wide range of fields. Contact our team if your organization, business, research group, or community is interested in finding ways to work together.
