Defenders' Experts
Proactive Carnivore Conservation In the Field
We believe our success at expanding the range of predators across the American West and elsewhere will be directly proportional to our success at reducing conflict between predators and humans. Defenders works with land and livestock owners, rural residents, recreationists, agencies, tribes and other groups to prevent conflicts with carnivores.
Below are a few examples of projects and materials related to carnivore conservation.
