About this award
This $115,569 Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657), supports a research project by Washington State University to monitor the status and habitat use of a lynx augmentation effort on the Colville National Forest in Washington state. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: 1) examine lynx occupancy patterns and changes over time, 2) evaluate factors indicating long-term success of the lynx augmentation, such as presence of kittens or non-augmented lynx, 3) analyze habitat use by the augmented lynx population, and 4) identify important lynx habitat areas to inform forest management decisions. The project aims to contribute to the understanding of how this lynx augmentation effort may enhance lynx resilience in Washington.
Description
In 2021, a lynx augmentation project was initiated by colvilleconfederated tribes, and this project seeks to understand how that effort may contribute to lynx resilience.specific objectives are:1) monitor the status of the lynx augmentation by examining lynx occupancy patterns and change in occupancythrough time.2) examine factors that indicate the potential for long-term success of the augmentation, including presence ofkittens or presence of lynx that were not part of the augmentation effort.3) examine habitat use by the augmented lynx population, and compare with previous findings from residentpopulations in washington.4) identify important habitat areas for augmented lynx on the colville national forest that could guide decisionsregarding forest treatments.5) identify if competition could be a limiting factor for lynx occupancy of the colville NF
