<p><strong>This episode of the Lead with Nature Podcast is unique.</strong></p> <p>Long-time colleagues in the field of wildlife tracking and conservation, Dan and Dr. Elbroch cover a range of topics relevant to Mark's newest book: <span style= "text-decoration: underline;">The Cougar Conundrum: Sharing the World with A Successful Predator</span>. They dive deep into the rich history of wildlife conservation and management in the United States - beginning with Teddy Roosevelt - and discuss the disproportionate influence that a small percentage of Americans have on the fate of wildlife today. Central to this dialogue is the role of hunting and hunters (as well as the co-opting of hunting culture by special interest groups).</p> <p>Mark and Dan share personal experiences in research, politics, hunting and the complexity of managing landscapes and species.</p> <p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p> <p><strong>Dr Elbroch’s Bio</strong></p> <p>Mark <span class="il">Elbroch</span> serves as the Director for Panthera's Puma Program, for which he designs conservation research for mountain lions in North and South America. In 2005, Mark was awarded a Senior Tracker Certificate by<a href= "http://www.cybertracker.org/tracking/qualified-trackers" target= "_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.cybertracker.org/tracking/qualified-trackers&source=gmail&ust=1595983973945000&usg=AFQjCNEdZb9AvnXE758CsRyU8ihiwYnerg"> CyberTracker Conservation</a> in Kruger National Park, South Africa, after successfully following lions across varied terrain. He was the 17<sup>th</sup> person to receive one and the first non-African. He is the Initial Evaluator for CyberTracker Tracker Evaluations in North America (<a href= "http://trackercertification.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://trackercertification.com/&source=gmail&ust=1595983973945000&usg=AFQjCNFD37HO2KR0k0GfqRVzcSQynJZJ-g">http://trackercertification.<wbr />com/</a>), where they have been used to test observer reliability in wildlife research and as an educational tool by nonprofit organizations. Mark received an honorary Master Tracker Certificate in 2015 for significant contributions to the conservation of tracking knowledge and the trackers themselves. He has authored/coauthored <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/default/e/B001ILHI96?redirectedFromKindleDbs=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/default/e/B001ILHI96?redirectedFromKindleDbs%3Dtrue&source=gmail&ust=1595983973945000&usg=AFQjCNFevCCl-AVSfYFCM0XIr1qUsHIvlA">10 books on natural history</a>, including two award-winning books on wildlife tracking, Animal Skulls: A Guide to North American Species, and the Peterson Reference Guide to the Behavior of North American Mammals.

He has contributed to mountain lion research and conservation in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Mexico, Chile, and now in Washington. His research is contributing radical changes to what we thought we knew about mountain lions, especially with regards to their social lives and their keystone roles in ecosystems.

<p><strong>Human. Forager. Hunter. Homesteader. Herbalist. Teacher. Student of Nature.</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">BIO: From a young age, <a href="https://www.jennarozelle.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Jenna Rozelle</a> was taught that “Plants are medicine. Plants are food. They’re everywhere and available.” Jenna leads a life deeply in love with the natural world...with all the feelings.... Her annual calendar is that of roots, shoots, pickling, preserving, sighting in and check-station conversations. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She waded slowly into hunting and fishing in her twenties, after foraging had become integral for her .Jenna is motivated by food and the desire to take direct responsibility for feeding herself in a way that is mutually beneficial with her landscape. Hunting and fishing go hand in hand with foraging and land stewardship for her. It’s a lifestyle she’s deeply satisfied by, and eager to share and promote for those who are interested. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jenna offers education for people who want to learn how to safely, ethically, and practically incorporate wild foods into their lives. Beyond food, she’s interested in fostering relationships between people and their local landscapes - aiming to erase that imaginary line between human and environment.</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jenna is a Board Member of <a href="http://www.bha.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Backcountry Hunters & Anglers</a></span></li> <li>Jenna is a <a href="https://hunttoeat.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunt to Eat</a> Ambassador</li> </ul> <p>-----------</p> <p><strong>Episode Mentions/References:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.backcountryhunters.org/a_beginner_s_guide_to_foraging_spring_greens?fbclid=IwAR35oeY5bil5DqeWvWBlGY3XjQGA0RX2pu3DxuAn4hiOIPf9_UVE6Adoja0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Beginner's Guide to Foraging Spring Greens</a> - by Jenna</p> <p><a href="https://www.foragersharvest.com/#/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Foraging Books by Sam Thayer</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jennarozelle/?hl=en" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>: @jennarozelle</p> <p><a href= "http://www.jennarozelle.com">www.jennarozelle.com</a> </p> <p> </p>
