Environmental groups Sinapu, Animal Protection of New Mexico and Forest Guardians will present a slide show about mountain lions Friday at REI in Albuquerque.
The program, “Mountain Lions in New Mexico & the West: Natural History, Conservation, & Co-Existence,” will include information about cougar natural history, skills to co-exist with the predators and issues about the state’s cougar management.
Wendy Keefover-Ring, director of Sinapu’s carnivore protection program, and Jon Schwedler, of Animal Protection’s cougar campaign, are touring eight New Mexico cities in advance of New Mexico Game Commission meetings where cougar management will be considered.
The event is at 6 p.m. at REI, 1550 Mercantile NE.
