Private landowners play pivotal role in the conservation of one of Texas’ most iconic and rare native species.
This is great stuff. I really like what the East Foundation does for wildlife and working lands in Texas, more of this sort of thing is needed everywhere! Plus, I am in support of anything to have more ocelots in more places

The @USFWS signed a new plan to help bring back ocelots in South Texas. The ocelot "safe harbor agreement" was formally signed March 19 at @East_Foundation El Sauz Ranch in Willacy County. It provides SoTX landowners leeway for the management of ocelots.

South Texas ranches help preserve tracts of land, but few long-term non-game bird studies exist. To address this gap, surveys were conducted annually on East Foundation properties from 2010 to 2020, documenting species occurrence, richness, and abundance. https://t.co/z50nD0VJVb
