Research and Outreach Collaborators
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Endangered Resources Bureau (WDNR) (http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/ORG/land/er/)
COEX and the WDNR have been working collaboratively since 1999 on wolf management. Since 2002, COEX staff and WDNR staff have co-authored four scientific publications and numerous oral presentations. Last year, COEX's work was recognized by an invitation to draft an appendix on public opinion of wolf management for the 2006 revision of the state's Wolf Management Plan. Next year we look forward to working with the WDNR on a study of the ecological and sociopolitical ramifications of wolf recovery in Wisconsin.

COEX has been working with Kerry Martin since 2002 to test non-lethal methods for managing wolf predation on domestic animals. COEX is now working closely with Kerry Martin to understand wolf movements in the Lake Superior Region. We aim to predict future wolf movements so as to anticipate where wolves will establish breeding packs in the years to come.

COEX and Predator Conservation Alliance (PCA) have been partners since the founding of COEX. With a grant from the Bosack Kruger Foundation, COEX is working closely with PCA to advance wildlife-friendly agricultural practices around the world. We are also collaborating on two projects dealing with large carnivore recovery in the Northern Rockies.

Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative and the Wilburforce Foundation
Elephant Pepper Development Trust (www.elephantpepper.org)

COEX and the Elephant Pepper Development Trust (EPDT) have been collaborating since 2004 to promote science-based management of crop raiding wildlife and livestock predators in the USA and East Africa. This coming year we are looking forward to working with EPDT to design and conduct training courses in understanding and managing human-wildlife conflicts.
