Ocelot

Scientists at the Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit worked with citizen-scientists in southern Arizona on a trail camera project to monitor endangered ocelot and overall biodiversity in 18 mountain ranges. The project included continuing education for the citizen scientists. The research team also provided interviews to the media on topics such as large carnivore movement and gene flow with respect to the border wall, and detections of rare, endangered cats (jaguar and ocelot) in Arizona.
