A sequence of images caught by a camera trap tells an amazing story!

Some scenes, and an amazing story, from @paulamackay.bsky.social and our Cascades Carnivore Monitoring Project.

I was at a conference last week, so missed the post about this new storyboard highlighting our collaborative Cascades Carnivore Monitoring Program! If you like carnivores, the Cascades, camera trap photos, or want to know more about this amazing effort, check this out! @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social

Scaling Up for Conservation: Technological Innovations and Collaboration for Landscape-Level Wildlife Monitoring. If you're in Lima at #ICTC, come see our talk Wednesday about how small NGOs can use tech and collaborations to make large contributions to conservation science and species recovery.

The last 2 full days of workshops in Lima at @wildlabs.bsky.social Conservation Tech Conference have been eye-opening! Amazing how much innovation is happening in the conservation-tech space. I have so many ideas thanks to @conservationxlabs.bsky.social @kitzeslab.bsky.social among others #ICTC

Just arrived in Lima for #ictc2026 hosted by @wildlabs.bsky.social Excited for all the workshops starting tomorrow, but today I’ll be exploring Lima!

If you missed an amazing episode about wolverines, and some of our research in Washington’s Cascades, the first time around, the episode of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom-Protecting the Wild will be airing again live on Valentine’s Day morning on NBC!

Good news for 🐝 🌲 🌸 🐝 🦋 🐝 As of Jan. 1, 2026, neonicotinoids, a class of pesticides known to harm pollinators, are no longer allowed for use by home gardeners on outdoor ornamental plants in Washington state. Looking for alternatives? Here's a beeautiful place to start: zoo.org/hellopollinators

We were on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom! Such a pleasure to have had the chance to feature on this iconic program. Thanks to the the entire WK team, and to Rae and Peter, for giving wolverines their day in the limelight! Stream it now at www.nbc.com/mutual-of-om... @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social

Paula MacKay is now on Bluesky! See what she's up to, and also find links to her writing, at @paulamackay.bsky.social

If you could use a bright spot, here are some members of the Cascadia Partner Forum making good use of our international peace park on the Washington - British Columbia border today. It's never been more important to work across borders for the climate resilience of our shared lands and waters.

Lots of news to share as we close out this week! First, Tideland Magazine has launched Paula MacKay's new column, "Wild Wonders"! Read more about it and find a link to the column here: paulamackay.com/blog/time-tr...

Paula MacKay recounts our latest backcountry trip--to an area scarred by wildfire--in this gritty blog post. Hear (and see) what a trip into the wilderness is like for a field biologist. @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social paulamackay.com/blog/the-pas...

If you're interested in the Pacific Northwest, urban carnivores, wolverines, amphibians, bats, #conservationtechnology, or how woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social is conserving wildlife, check out fox13.bsky.social ‘s “Saving Wildlife.” The first episode just dropped: www.fox13seattle.com/video/1642484

Seattle’s downtown is exceedingly more bikeable than it was just a few years ago. And, the waterfront bike path is finally complete, and a joy to ride!

Ever wondered if a small, fluffy, very cute pup could hack it in the wilderness? Well, another new blog post from P. MacKay describes our most recent attempt to get at that question! paulamackay.com/blog/gg7af25...

A few weeks ago Paula and I got to meet some wolverines during a trip associated with our carnivore conservation work for @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social Read about it here! paulamackay.com/blog/getting...

Interested in #ConservationTech? Come join another @wildlabsnet.bsky.social variety hour for a sneak peak at new exciting projects, including the wildlife scent dispenser we've developed to survey rare carnivores in tough-to-access regions. See you all there! wildlabs.net/event/variet...

I'm very excited to share a new paper that used the largest wolverine genetic dataset ever assembled in North America to explore genetic connectivity of wolverines across western NA. Special congrats to lead authors C. Day, E. Landguth, and M. Sawaya #wolverine #DNA www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Twitter, as we knew it, no longer exists. “X” is a cesspool of misinformation and propaganda. I’ve been reluctant to put a lot of energy into a “Twitter alternative” because none of them have taken off. But I hope we can regain that global conversation someplace again. Maybe this is the place.

Sharing Paula MacKay’s short blog post from Wednesday—I know it helped me keep in mind the wonders, even in the midst of grief and tragedy. paulamackay.com/blog/sufferi...

I’m really pleased that our paper describing an overwinter protocol for surveys of #wolverine s and other other #carnivore s is out! If you deploy #cameratrap s with an attractant, especially during winter, it might be of interest. @woodlandparkzoo doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

P. MacKay and I enjoyed our recent convo on the RewildingEarth podcast covering a broad swath of topics #carnivore #cameratrap #noninvasive #scicomm #wolverine #grizzlybear #connectivity #scat #pnw @ben_a_goldfarb @roamnjoe Robin Wall Kimmerer @rewilding rewilding.org/episode-120-...

Paula MacKay's new abecedarian essay "Wolverines in a Land of Wildfire" is a poetic exploration of an amazing species in a wild and changing landscape. Check it out now in About Place Journal aboutplacejournal.org/issues/the-m... and learn more at paulamackay.com/blog/fqydbgg...

This is going to be a great conference next week! Looking forward to learning a bunch about weasels—big and small—from new and old colleagues alike! (On X) @JasonTFisherLab @Fuller_Lab @chrissuthy @_sfrey_ @joburgar www.martesworkinggroup.org/martes-sympo...

Anyone used the Wiley preprint service “Under Review” (Authorea)? It allows citing of the article prior to peer review, which seems counter to the purpose of peer rev! Also, enables comments from public, but not supposed to affect the review process. Not really sure the purpose, therefore. Thoughts?

Catching up on some posting backlog... Thanks to the Seattle Channel and CityStream, and @IanDevier (on X) for the well-done piece about #coexisting with urban #coyotes in Seattle! @samanthakreling (on X) https://www.seattlechannel.org/CityStream/segments?videoid=x149930

First post here…hoping this platform takes off and I can switch permanently! I study #carnivores in the Pacific Northwest using noninvasive methods, in collab with a wide variety of colleagues and entities. Projects focus on spp recovery, human-wildlife coexistence, and community engagement.
