The Applied Wildlife Ecology (AWE) Lab is a diverse team with a passion for carnivores, conservation, and community. Our work focuses on the relationship between carnivores, their prey, and the ever changing environment.
At the AWE Lab, we believe that authentic, rigorous research can only be accomplished with the involvement and support of the community. This is where you come in. We need your help to guide and add to the research happening in your backyard.
