Predator management is a highly debated topic that often elicits strong emotions. But as human development alters the natural landscape, creating straight pathways—such as roads, agriculture, and oil and gas corridors—that make traversing easier for all species, it throws off predator-prey dynamics as these areas become major hunting sites.

In this episode:

• Why wildlife management is essential to maintaining biodiversity and sustainable populations for at-risk species such as elk.
• Finding a healthy balance to mitigate the human footprint we leave on the land and helping protect conservation efforts.
• The significant financial impact of predation, including an estimated $20 million in cattle losses in Alberta alone.
