Mountain lions play a critical role in maintaining a healthy natural ecosystem in every landscape they inhabit, but their continued presence in those landscapes is often tenuous.
Our Living with Lions webinar series highlights the challenges mountain lions face in existing in a human-dominated world, as well as the steps that we can take to preserve their presence here.

Storytelling for Mountain Lions
Katie Dolan
Wednesday, February 19 at 12pm PT via Zoom
A Zimbabwean proverb claims, “Until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” The lion – whether an African or an American Mountain Lion – needs talented storytellers to counteract entrenched cultural fears about large predators and explain the ecological importance of these enigmatic creatures. This webinar will discuss the science of storytelling, what makes an effective story, and how great stories can have an impact. A mountain lion’s story includes roles as a family member, a parent, an elusive beauty, a creature glimpsed on a quest, a talented hunter, an ecological engineer, a healer, a celebrity, and a cat who loves catnip. The adaptable animal is simply trying to get by in an increasingly crowded world — join us to hear Katie’s fascinating advice on sharing compelling stories about mountain lions.

Stay tuned, as each month we will dive in deep with scientists, journalists, authors, policymakers and more. Unless otherwise noted, all talks will take place at noon Pacific time, via Zoom. Registration is free and required in order to receive the link.
All events are free to attend, with donations to support our efforts welcome. This community has contributed well over $10,000 toward mountain lion protection efforts through these webinars since their launch in 2021. It’s inspiring to see so many people not only making time in their lives for mountain lions, but also giving generously to support recovery and co-existence efforts.
