We are conducting surveys, monitoring, and research on cougars (puma, mountain lion) on the Ladder Ranch in south-central New Mexico. Here, cougars are of particular interest given their effects on state-endangered desert bighorn sheep and other valuable big game. These projects are also resources for training and education, most notably through the Cougar Field Workshop.

Using new infra-red cameras purchased with funding from a Howard Hughes grant, we have more confirmation that LF1 is traveling with at least one cub. Here she can be clearly seen inside our cage trap with another small puma.
