Western Wildlife Migrations with Matt Kauffman

Matt Kauffman is a Research Wildlife Biologist with the United Stated Geological Survey and the lead scientist at the Wyoming Migration Initiative, based out of the University of Wyoming. He has worked on and researched everything from peregrine falcons and wolves to carnivores in Africa. For the last 15 years Matt has been conducting research on the seasonal movements of ungulates like mule deer in the western United States and is a leading authority on their migration ecology and conservation. On this episode we discuss wildlife migration and the recent release of the report “Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States” of which Matt was a key author. Along with the release of the report was a new mapping tool for use by the public that can be found at https://westernmigrations.net/.
