Uncover the Secrets of California’s Majestic Mountain Lions!
In California’s wild landscapes, mountain lions reign supreme at the top of the food chain, serving as keystone species that maintain the balance and health of our natural ecosystems. But these powerful and elusive big cats face growing challenges as human activity increasingly overlaps with their habitats—especially here in the Bay Area.
Join Dr. Quinton Martins, a world-renowned large cat expert, founder of True Wild, and director of Living with Lions, for a captivating exploration into the lives of these charismatic creatures. Learn about their fascinating behavior, how they navigate the pressures of a human-dominated landscape, and the critical role they play in shaping conservation efforts both locally and globally.
Dr. Martins brings a wealth of experience and passion to this discussion, offering insights into how we can coexist with mountain lions and safeguard their future. His innovative work, as showcased through Living with Lions (learn more here), highlights the delicate balance between wildlife preservation and human impact.
