Cats of the Wild

Feline Fire Survivors: Carmen Vanbianchi - Home Range Wildlife Research


Listen Later

Wildfires have always been a natural hazard ingrained in the history of the forests across Washington state in the US Pacific Northwest, but in recent years their impact has grown more severe, with longer-lasting and more intense blazes pushing this region's fragile ecosystems right to the very brink.

Amongst the wildlife that call these forests home, is a subpopulation of the Canada lynx, a medium-sized species of lynx that ranges across Alaska, Canada and some northern areas of the US.

With each devastating wildfire, the Canada Lynx's future here grows more uncertain - their once familiar territory now fragmented, altered and their survival now in a race against time.
