Dr. Blair Wolf is a professor of biology and as an ecological physiologist-animal ecologist is interested in how animals cope with challenges of desert environments. He is also a long-time member of the board of directors of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation. Recently, Blair Wolf helped to recruit the newest member of NMWF's board. Blair refers to Dr. Carlos Martinez del Rio as one of his mentors. Carlos recently retired from his position as a professor in the Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming. He now serves on the board of NMWF from Silver City, NM. What a treat it was for Jesse Deubel and Ray Trejo, NMWF staffers to share in a conversation with these two highly accomplished scientists. We discussed a wide range of topics including climate change, the nuances around the term "best available science," potential changes in elk rutting behavior, how hunters can kill animals they love, the importance of habitat and habitat connectivity, and so much more. NMWF is excited to provide the listeners of this episode of the Ahi Va Podcast with access to the knowledge so brilliantly articulated by these two wildlife focused scientists. Enjoy the Listen!
