Kevin Crooks, director of @CHCCoexistence and professor in @CSU_FWCB, is working with a group of researchers at the center to promote coexistence between humans and carnivores like black bears. Learn more about the implications of the study at col.st/PACjG.
New article from the CHCC researchers, A systematic map of human-carnivore coexistence, published in Biological Conservation reviews coexistence research and revealed interesting findings: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
A recent paper by the CHCC team examining the social-ecological drivers of public voting on wolf reintroduction in Colorado found the presidential vote as the strongest predictor of voting on wolf reintroduction in Colorado. buff.ly/34U6sUC

New paper from the CHCC team:
Why the vote on wolf restoration was so much closer than what surveys predicted?
A combination of changes in public perspectives and survey sampling bias caused the difference between survey results and the actual voting. buff.ly/3BuRMap
Haven't had a chance to check out the recent paper published by CHCC staff on integrating #socialscience into conservation planning? Don't fret Rebecca Niemiec breaks it down with Jason Crighton on the Conservation Unfiltered Podcast! conservewild.org/podcast/epi…

ISP Year in Review: Our highlights from 2021!
#1: Last year, Colorado voters narrowly approved a managed reintroduction of wolves. @COParksWildlife director Dan Prenzlow tells us what's next. Watch: bit.ly/3GLQk4O
Presented w/ @cnt4collabcons & @WarnerCollege
Curious if public engagement can make a difference in the outcome of #wildlife management? Read more about how Rebecca Niemiec's work with @COParksWildlife on #wolfreintroduction is shaping future engagement processes wildlife.org/can-public-enga…

Meet CHCC director and FWCB professor, Dr. Kevin Crooks! Dr. Crooks’ lab focuses on the ecology and conservation of mammals, primarily by looking at the effects of habitat fragmentation, urban sprawl, and landscape connectivity on carnivores and the systems in which they live.

HUGE thank you to our speakers and attendees last week at the Social Justice and Human-Carnivore Coexistence conversation for sharing inspiring stories and some current challenges in conservation!
Join us tomorrow (10/21) for our speaker series "Social Justice and Human-Carnivore Coexistence"! From 4:30 to 6:30 we will listen to brief talks from speakers, followed by a Q&A session and dinner until 7:30. Registration is not required. Come for what you can!
After finding a lack of guidance on applying diverse social science approaches during conservation planning processes, CHCC faculty published a study on integrating social science into conservation planning using #ColoradoWolfReintroduction as a case study buff.ly/3az4DM2
This year we welcome Lauren Balsley as a CHCC undergraduate researcher! She is a senior at CSU studying Ecosystem Science and Sustainability and will be helping CHCC co-director, Rebecca Niemiec, study Social Science within Wolf Reintroduction and Management Strategies!
CHCC faculty, Joel Berger, recently interviewed with ABC discussing his work venturing into polar regions to study #Muskoxen! Listen to Joel's frigid stories and learn more about his innovative methods in ecology, including dressing up as polar bears buff.ly/3apH34F
We’re excited to join @WarnerCollege and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion in hosting this event featuring: Rain Bear Stands Last, Steve Whiteman, Peter David, and Ernest House Jr.!
Join @Csu_hdnr for a talk titled "Social Justice and Human Carnivore Coexistence: Considering Indigenous Voices and Rights in #WolfReintroduction and Management," October 21 from 4:30-7:30 in the Lory Student Center Theater. A necessary addition to wolf-related conversations!
