Wildlife ecologist Louise Emmons has spent the past seven years developing field research on a Bolivian population of the endangered Maned Wolf, focusing on documenting seasonal movements, population dynamics and shifting
abundance of prey densities, as well as other ecological parameters of
importance for the survival of this most sensitive of species. Public
awareness concerning disease transmission through contact with domestic
livestock is a priority issue for maned wolf conservation in Bolivia as
elsewhere. To address this threat, Dr. Emmons teamed up with cartoonist and
wildlife conservationist Alan Hesse to produce the "Vaccinate for Life!"
poster, which is currently being distributed to rural settlements, schools,
protected areas and local organisations throughout the region. Contact information: emmonsl@si.edu or alan.hesse@googlemail.com
