The Living with Lions Project was established in the San Francisco North Bay in 2016 and is a partnership between True Wild and Audubon Canyon Ranch (ACR). True Wild also partners with The Institute of Wildlife Studies and Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue. Dr. Quinton Martins is managing partner of True Wild and the Principal Investigator of the Living with Lions Project.
True Wild and Audubon Canyon Ranch collaborated recently to make a helpful guide for pet and livestock owners living in mountain lion habitat in the North Bay. The guide is available here. Please send it on to anyone you know who keeps livestock. A quick way to see if you live in mountain lion habitat in Northern California is to look at a satellite map and see if your property shows up with dark green connected to other areas of dark green. This gives an indication of habitat with cover, which mountain lions select for. Always feel free to reach out to Quinton on 707 721 6560 with any mountain lion related questions or for free advise on how to improve your livestock protection measures. Co-existence with wildlife is key to a healthy ecosystem which sustains us all.
