PREFACE vii PREFACE The Wyoming Game and Fish Department took great pride in hosting the Seventh Mountain Lion Workshop, which was held in conjunction with the Thirty-Ninth North American Moose Conference and Workshop and the Fifth Western States and Provinces Deer and Elk Workshop. More than 190 people attended the mountain lion workshop representing 27 states, 3 Canadian provinces, Mexico, Brazil, and the United Kingdom. Numerous state and federal agencies, tribal nations, private organizations, academia, and members of the general public were represented which attest to the varied and growing interest in mountain lions throughout North and South America. This workshop would not have been a success without the aid and cooperation of the contributors and participants. Financial support, equipment, and manpower provided by the Wyoming Chapter of the Wildlife Society, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Wyoming made this workshop possible. A special thanks goes to the members of the organizing committee for their aid with all aspects of pre- and post-workshop activities, to the session chairs for keeping the workshop moving in a timely fashion, and to the invited speakers who gave thoughtful insight into past, present, and future mountain lion management practices and research techniques. Many thanks to the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) for sanctioning the Seventh Mountain Lion Workshop; from this point forward, all mountain lion workshops will be sanctioned by WAFWA. Finally, we would like to thank all the presenters in the oral and poster sessions for the depth of their research and the quality of their presentations. As a result of the efforts you all put forth, a standard has been set for presentations at future mountain lion workshops. Keep up the great work! Scott Becker and Dave Moody Workshop Co-Chairs
