We are thrilled to announce the return of one of the world’s experts on cougars, Dr. Mark Elbroch.
As lead scientist for Panthera, a conservation organization that supports research and communicating science to as large an audience as possible, Elbroch is a consummate educator. His combination of visual footage, many years of experience, and passion for his work creates a unique and inspiring opportunity for audiences.
Elbroch leads projects as well as directing the analysis of data gathered in the field. He earned his doctoral degree at the University of California - Davis, where his dissertation research focused on puma ecology in Chilean Patagonia. He has contributed to puma research and conservation in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Mexico and Chile, as well as worked as a wildlife consultant across North America.
Elbroch has authored and coauthored 10 books on natural history, including two award-winning books on wildlife tracking, Animal Skulls: A Guide to North American Species, endorsed by The American Society of Mammalogists, and the new Peterson Reference Guide to the Behavior of North American Mammals.
Elbroch is the author or co-author of 10 books on natural history. His book Bird Tracks and Sign: A Guide to North American Species was runner up for a National Outdoor Book Award in 2001, and his book Mammal Tracks and Sign: A Guide to North American Species won a National Outdoor Book Award in 2003.
