USING SCIENCE-BASED, NON-INVASIVE MONITORING METHODSINCLUDING FECAL DNA ANALYSIS, HAIR SURVEYS, CAMERA TRAPS, AND GPS DATABAPP STUDIES PUMA ECOLOGY, HEALTH, AND MOVEMENT PATTERNS TO UNDERSTAND HOW URBANIZATION AFFECTS THEIR SURVIVAL AND BEHAVIOR. THE PROJECT'S FINDINGS INFORM REGIONAL CONSERVATION PLANNING AND COEXISTENCE STRATEGIES THAT PROTECT BOTH WILDLIFE AND HUMAN COMMUNITIES.BAPP ENGAGES LOCAL VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY SCIENTISTS, AND REGIONAL PARTNERS TO COLLECT DATA AND ADVANCE ONE HEALTH RESEARCH LINKING WILDLIFE, ECOSYSTEM, AND PUBLIC HEALTH. SUPPORTED BY GENEROUS DONORS AND FOUNDATIONS, BAPP COMBINES RIGOROUS SCIENCE WITH PUBLIC EDUCATION TO FOSTER COEXISTENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE AND NATIVE PREDATORS ACROSS CALIFORNIA'S RAPIDLY CHANGING LANDSCAPES. 36831 54367 TSAVO CHEETAH PROJECT========================================================================THE TSAVO CHEETAH PROJECT CONDUCTS LONG-TERM, SCIENCE-BASED MONITORING OF CHEETAHS IN KENYA'S TSAVO ECOSYSTEM TO ASSESS POPULATION STATUS, GENETICS, HEALTH, AND HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT. USING NON-INVASIVE METHODS SUCH AS CAMERA TRAPPING, FECAL SAMPLING, AND COMMUNITY REPORTING, TCP PROVIDES CRITICAL DATA TO GUIDE NATIONAL CHEETAH CONSERVATION STRATEGIES. THE PROJECT COLLABORATES WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE TO MITIGATE CONFLICT, PROMOTE COEXISTENCE, AND STRENGTHEN CONSERVATION CAPACITY. SUPPORTED BY DONORS AND PARTNERS, TCP ADVANCES FELIDAE'S GLOBAL ONE HEALTH MISSION THROUGH RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION PRACTICES. LIVING WITH LIONS AND CAT AWARE EDUCATION========================================================================THE LIVING WITH LIONS PROGRAM PROMOTES COEXISTENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE AND PUMAS THROUGH SCIENCE-BASED EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND CONFLICT MITIGATION. OPERATING ACROSS THE BAY AREA AND ORANGE COUNTY, THE PROGRAM ENGAGES THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS ANNUALLY THROUGH WORKSHOPS, COMMUNITY TALKS, AND ONLINE RESOURCES. IT PROVIDES TOOLS AND DATA TO HELP COMMUNITIES UNDERSTAND PUMA BEHAVIOR, REDUCE CONFLICT, AND SUPPORT SAFE WILDLIFE CORRIDORS.
