"It's about predators and wildlife throughout the world that live in human-dominated places. How do these animals deal with fragmentation? We're showing that, depending on whether they are reproducing or whether they are just surviving, they behave differently." -Chris Wilmers

The Puma Project is an ongoing research project at UCSC that tracks local puma behavior in response to human-caused habitat fragmentation. Founder and lead researcher Chris Wilmers will be at the Arboretum for the California Naturalist Program to discuss research, pumas and solutions. This is a great opportunity to get the skinny about this awesome research happening right here at UCSC.

Thursday, June 5. 7pm - 9:30pm. Free for UCSC students, $5 for members, $10 for non-members. UCSC Arboretum.
