Today, more than ever – the mountain lion is mired in controversy, misinformation and fear and their very existence in the landscapes across America are inextricably interwined with the tricky politics of managing wildlife reserves in the US.
What role does the mountain lion play in these ecosystems? What value if any, does it provide the local people and economies? And how do we move forward with the conservation of this species for all people. It's quite the cougar conundrum!
This episode features Dr. Mark Elbroch, director of the Puma Program at Panthera and author of the new book, 'The Cougar Conundrum'
