SUMMARY:A Day in the Life of Two Coexistence Ranchers
DESCRIPTION:A Day in the Life of Two Coexistence Ranchers \nWednesday\, November 20 at 12pm PT via Zoom \nREGISTER NOW \nWhat does it mean to raise livestock with coexistence as a value? It’s one thing to recreate in places where mountain lions\, coyotes\, and bears live. It’s another to make ranching your livelihood in wild places. \nRanchers around the world have peacefully and productively coexisted with wild cats\, coyotes\, bears and other apex carnivores for millennia. Indeed\, modern deterrent devices used in the U.S. today have origins in the most ancient coexistence tools. But for most of the ranchers who raise cattle\, sheep\, and goats on 600+ million acres across the US\, lethal removal is the preferred method for dealing with carnivores that share the land\, even though lethal removal can end up causing an increase in conflict. \nLearn about a day in the life of two successful\, professional ranchers who peacefully raise livestock in lion and coyote country. Why did they choose to put coexistence at the center of their ranching operations? What are the investments needed to implement non-lethal deterrent programs at scale? What are key differences between coexisting with mountain lions and with coyotes\, and is it possible to do both? \nJoin us for a much-needed conversation with two coexistence ranchers about their work in California and neighboring states. The conversation will be moderated by Brent Lyles\, Executive Director for the Mountain Lion Foundation. \nThe Speakers \n \nKeli Hendricks serves as the Ranching with Wildlife Coordinator for Project Coyote. She lives and works on a cattle ranch in Sonoma County\, California. \nKeli has also been a long time volunteer with Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue\, where she fosters orphaned wild babies including raccoons\, skunks\, coyotes\, squirrels\, opossums and more\, and prepares them for release back into the wild. Keli and her husband Dean live on a cattle ranch in Sonoma County where Dean has managed the cow/calf operation for over 25 years. Keli is also VP of Little Trooper Ranch\, a dog rescue in Santa Rosa\, and she serves on the Sonoma County Fish and Game Commission. \n \nGowan Batist is Coexistence Programs Manager at the Mountain Lion Foundation. Gowan lives and works on a sheep ranch in Mendocino County\, California. \nGowan grew up outdoors with wildlife in Northern California and is committed to fostering a land stewardship ethic that increases and preserves biodiversity for future generations. As co-owner of a regenerative sheep ranch on the Mendocino Coast\, they are a member of the Board of Directors of CAFF (Community Alliance with Family Farmers). Gowan is deeply invested in facilitating positive interactions between humans\, agriculture and wildlife. They have a long history of engagement and education\, including receiving recognition for work from California Farmer’s Guild\, American Farmland Trust\, Americorps NCCC\, and the Sustainable North Coast Award from the office of Congressman Jared Huffman.

SUMMARY:Raising Livestock in Mountain Lion Country
DESCRIPTION:Gowan Batist is a working sheep rancher in northern California. Gowan will give a practical\, field-tested overview of what it takes to raise small ruminants like goats and sheep safely alongside mountain lions. \nTopics covered will include cougar behavior and biology\, deterrent devices\, methods for physical exclusion\, use of livestock guardian animals\, and when it is and is not appropriate to accelerate our response to active hazing or lethal action. We will also cover safety tips for pet owners and poultry coops\, as well as other domestic animals from horses to llamas to emus. We will discuss science-based strategies for working with nature to the benefit of all concerned\, human and animal alike. \nThis is an online presentation geared towards citizens and livestock produces of El Dorado and Amador County\, offered via Zoom\, that will include ample time for attendee questions. \nThe Mountain Lion Foundation’s mission is to ensure that these critically important animals survive and flourish in the wild. The organization’s work focuses on science-based education\, peaceful coexistence with lions\, and advocating for protective policies across the United States. Learn more about lions and how to safely coexist with them at mountainlion.org.

SUMMARY:Mountain Lion Spying 101
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to get started with camera trapping to discover the wildness in your backyard! “Camera trapping” refers to movement-triggered cameras that are set up in remote areas to capture pictures of wildlife without requiring a person to push the button. Dr. Hari Viswanathan has been an amateur wildlife photographer for 30 years.

SUMMARY:Livestock Guardian Dogs: An Ancient Solution to Modern Wildlife Conflicts
DESCRIPTION:Livestock Guardian Dogs are a new addition to ranching culture in the United States\, with the wider scale use of dogs implemented as recently as the 1970’s. Their place as a cultural staple of coexistence around the world\, however\, stretches back thousands of years. Join Gowan Batist\, our Coexistence Programs Manager\, to learn why this special relationship with dogs is possibly the most effective coexistence strategy across the globe. Find out why ranchers from Patagonia to Botswana are benefitting from working with these ancient pastoral partners.

SUMMARY:Purr-fect Puma Crossings
DESCRIPTION:Ahíga Sandoval\, Co-Principal and Field Operations Manager at Pathways for Wildlife\, will share new research about how mountain lions are using highway crossings along Highway 395 and Highway 17 in California. By watching Ahíga’s terrific video footage\, you’ll see several lion families\, witness cubs growing up over time\, and be amazed by a menagerie of other wildlife using the crossings as well. This research is helping highway planners find ideal spots for lion crossings in California and other states\, and it’s also helping those planners understand what kinds of crossings work best for different animals on different landscapes. Too many lions are being killed along roadways\, and helping mountain lions to cross roads safely also reduces the genetic isolation of different lion communities. Fortunately\, research like Ahíga’s is shedding light on how we can coexist with and ensure the long-term survival of divided lion populations\, especially in the face of expanding human communities and highway systems everywhere mountain lions live.

He will also discuss the considerations that law enforcement personnel are often faced with\, showing that killing a wayward cougar simply because it has wandered into human territory is rarely necessary and is often the wrong decision. \nIn the ABDNHA library.
