WE WORK IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT LIVING WITH LIONS IS NOT JUST POSSIBLE, BUT SIMPLE. THE MOUNTAIN LION FOUNDATION PROVIDES INFORMATION, TOOLS, AND ADVICE ABOUT PROTECTING LIONS TO A RANGE OF PEOPLE - FAMILIES, FARMERS AND RANCHERS, STATE AGENCY PERSONNEL, JOURNALISTS, RURAL DECISION MAKERS, AND MORE - TO HELP COMMUNITIES LIVE PEACEFULLY AMONG LIONS, ADDRESS COUGAR ENCOUNTERS AS THEY OCCUR, AND GIVE MOUNTAIN LIONS EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO FLOURISH. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024, THE MOUNTAIN LION FOUNDATION RESPONDED WITH PRO-PROTECTION INFORMATION AND ADVICE TO MANY DOZENS OF INCIDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SUCH AS LION SIGHTINGS, SUSPECTED DEPREDATIONS, AND LION MORTALITIES. WE ALSO DISSEMINATED INFORMATION TO HOBBY FARMERS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PRODUCER COMMUNITY THAT HELPED THEM COEXIST PEACEFULLY WITH THEIR LION NEIGHBORS. 406528 100102 OUTREACH AND EDUCATION - THE MOUNTAIN LION FOUNDATION FOSTERS APPRECIATION OF MOUNTAIN LIONS AND THEIR ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE. MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE AN INDISPENSABLE KEYSTONE SPECIES. HOWEVER, LIKE MANY TOP CARNIVORES, MOUNTAIN LIONS SUFFER FROM SOME WIDELY HELD, BUT FALSE AND HARMFUL MISCONCEPTIONS. OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH DISPELS THOSE MYTHS AND MISINFORMATION AND HELPS PEOPLE TO SEE MOUNTAIN LIONS AS A VITAL APEX SPECIES DESERVING PRESERVATION RATHER THAN EXPLOITATION. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024, THE MOUNTAIN LION FOUNDATION REACHED MORE PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAN EVER BEFORE THROUGH ITS STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT OF AUDIENCES VIA IN-PERSON PRESENTATIONS, REFOCUSED SOCIAL MEDIA, THE WEBSITE, REVAMPED EMAILS, NEW WEBINAR CONTENT, AND PUBLICATIONS. A HIGHLIGHT NEW PUBLICATION WAS THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO RECENT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON MOUNTAIN LIONS. 242938 15099 PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY - THE MOUNTAIN LION FOUNDATION CHAMPIONS BROAD PROTECTIONS FOR MOUNTAIN LIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WORKING WITH POLICYMAKERS AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS, WE EMPOWER OUR MEMBERS AND PARTNERS TO ADVOCATE FOR STRONG PROTECTION FOR MOUNTAIN LIONS AND THEIR HABITATS.
