| Mountain Lions and Bear conservation strategies report | |
| 2009 Full Book | |
This report was prepared by wildlife scientists and managers, including two contributors not employed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (Department). This report reviews data available in Department files, peer-reviewed published literature, and conservation plans and strategies from other western states. The summaries and recommendations listed at the end of each strategy section are based on the best available information, supported by science, and are considered reasonable and cost effective. This report examines several aspects of conservation and management for both mountain lions (_Puma concolor_) and black bears (_Ursus americana_). The specific topics addressed include hunting and recreational opportunity, conflict resolution, livestock depredation, and summarizes information on genetic sampling for population monitoring. The strategies that follow are not Department policy or agenda, but provide an array of options based on published literature and professional experience that may be considered to achieve management objectives. Changes to Department guidelines and policies occur using public processes that may consider these strategies. |
