Episode #229 Alma "Rosie" Sanchez - Carnivore Biologist for the Nez Perce Tribe

Alma "Rosie" Sanchez is the Carnivore Biologist for the Nez Perce Tribe and is also a PhD student at The University of Colorado Boulder. She combines Indigenous political ecology and carnivore ecology in both fieldwork and research. Rosie has focused on revitalizing management plans, deploying field projects to determine occupancy and migration, and expanding opportunities for community involvement in conservation. She spoke about her career journey that led to working with the Nez Perce Tribe, some of the research she's working on at the moment, and the rise of traditional ecological knowledge she's seen in collaboration within agencies. Nez Perce Tribe WebsiteNez Perce Tribe Wildlife Division@rorosanchieHowl Podcast (Wolf Reintroduction Series)@thewolfconnectionpod
