PubblicoContenuto scaricabile
open in viewerDue to large elk populations, Estes Park faces coexistence-related issues, including unsafe tourist-elk interactions and a need for more inexpensive housing. We collaborated with the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition to examine human-elk conflict to support Estes Park’s futures planning. We achieved this by understanding pressure points for elk and humans and rethinking strategies for coexistence. We designed educational materials, made suggestions on wildlife-friendly policies, and recommended futures planning workshops to envision a more equitable relationship between wildlife and humans.
