Description

Today, Brooke is joined by Carmen Vanbianchi, Co-founder and Reserach Director of Home Range, a nonprofit dedicated to conserving the lynx and its habitat in Washington's Cascade Mountains. Carmen shares her inspiring journey from studying this elusive cat as a graduate student to starting her own organization to protect it. They dive deep into the unique ecology of the Cascades, learning about the lynx's amazing adaptations and the threats it faces from habitat loss, climate change, and increased recreation. Carmen offers insights into Home Range's multifaceted efforts - from field research to community outreach initiatives fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife. You'll also gain a greater appreciation for the recent surge in catastrophic wildfires ravaging the West and how these events impact not just lynx but bears and other species. Brimming with passion and commitment, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in conservation, wildlife biology, or simply being inspired by those working to protect our natural world.





The Home Range Wildlife Research Lynx and Wildfire Project is made possible with funding support from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and through a partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). All capture and collaring activities are performed under USFWS permit #PER2937435.
