Tracking Snow

Discover a novel way to studying elusive carnivores using snow! Researchers rely on finding snow tracks of animals like the charismatic lynx to estimate their distribution, which often leads to a lot of work without conclusive results. Join two scientists – Jessie and Tommy - as we learn how they re-purposed an old technique in a way that may revolutionize how we study threatened species and manage our landscapes. Created during the 2018 IWFF Filmmaker Labs, this film highlights the importance of conservation through collaboration by bringing together the scientific minds of two distinct branches of The U.S. Forest Service.
