Protecting ecosystems in far away places:
Mongolia: Assisted the Denver Zoological Society and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences in capturing threatened Argali Sheep. The intent of the research is to study Argali ecology and to determine feasibility of repopulating areas where numbers have declined. Argali were remotely captured with darting equipment and drive nets, and radio-collars were attached.
Bhutan: Consulted for the Bhutan Ministry of Agriculture and the Bhutan Trust Fund to assess techniques and equipment used for wild pig control. We trained staff and designed a research program to evaluate management options.
Galapagos National Park, Ecuador: Participated in an international workshop to design a program for the eradication of feral goats on Isabela Island. |
