Hi! I am a university student interested in learning about animal science research & advocating for animal-related issues.
Research focus: American elk 🦌🌲🍂

Just like American elk, mustangs face conflict with humans, too. It's important to look at how anthropogenic activity influences wildlife and to prevent the negative consequences to our best ability. #60animals

Looking to learn more about the American mustang and historically overlooked welfare issues of these beautiful animals?

Here's an article all about it! Read about how wild horses have been repeatedly screwed over BELOW!

The implementation of crossing structures for wildlife to safely navigate across roads is extremely important in allowing humans and animals to coexist in the same area. I am looking forward to the completion of this project! #60animals

Roads can make survival harder for coyotes, but some solutions already exist. Projects like the Coyote Valley wildlife crossing in California are designed to help animals move safely and reconnect habitats.

Here's an infographic I made on how recreational activities cause habitat fragmentation and disturbance to elk. Various wildlife organizations are combatting this issue, although we should educate ourselves and reevaluate the consequences of our actions on wildlife.

In 2005, the NFWF launched the Acres for America program with Walmart to protect and restore millions of acres of wildlife habitat. They were able to connect lands to protect migration routes and fund emergency responses for threatened animals. https://t.co/Q4EiDg40vb

You can get involved with the U.S. Department of Agriculture by contacting a Forest Service office to volunteer and help improve forests, grasslands, and the overall habitat for elk. Check out the volunteer opportunities here: https://t.co/2HoPrjekfX

The loss of biodiversity as a direct result of climate change threatens elk's ability to adapt warmer climate and disruptive weather. Read more about this ongoing issue here:

Habitat fragmentation is a direct result of roads, trails, pipes, and oil and gas developments. These anthropogenic activities prevent elk from being able to migrate for food and to avoid harsh weather. Read more about it here: https://t.co/xGCs20BCNK

American elk are pushed out of their homes due to rapid urbanization and habitat destruction from climate change. According to this study, the major issue is depletion of habitats that elk migrate to for foraging: https://t.co/eFsOy5AaKN

Hunt pens are enclosures that involve trapping and shooting elk, causing them immense distress before ending their lives. Unfortunately, the government in Alberta has recently legalized this unethical practice: https://t.co/apv4k7PnTj

Trophy hunting is a recreational practice that involves hunting elk to either sell or keep their body parts as souvenirs. This practice involves taking the lives of innocent animals for fun. Read more about the harm of trophy hunting here: https://t.co/ePDnP2imlo
