In case you missed it, we recently published an op-ed in VT Digger on why we believe now is the time to consider catamounts return to the forests of the Northeast. You can read that op-ed here.

In a thoughtful essay for From the Ground Up, rewilding advocate John Davis invites readers to imagine our landscape through the eyes of a wide-ranging apex carnivore. From forested ridgelines to river valleys, from wildlife corridors to the dangers posed by roads and fragmentation, the piece explores what catamounts need to move safely across the Northeast — and what their absence reveals about the state of our ecosystems.

We had the opportunity to sit down with the Adirondack Land Trust for a conversation about the history, science, and growing momentum behind bringing catamounts home to the Northeast.

We’re excited to share that The Guardian published a feature story this week spotlighting the growing movement to restore mountain lions to the Northeast — including our work here in Vermont through Bring Catamounts Home.

What would it feel like to come face-to-face with a mountain lion in the wild? We’re excited to share: The Washington Post just published a feature story on mountain lions and the growing movement to bring them back to the Northeast. In it, columnist Dana Milbank shares his unforgettable experience joining researchers in the field and encountering cougars up close. His story captures both the awe of the moment and the larger vision of what it would mean to restore this keystone species back into the forests of the Northeast

We’re excited to share a new podcast conversation with Rewilding Earth: Episode 153: Preparing for a Catamount Homecoming. Our thanks to our friends at The Rewilding Institute for hosting this important dialogue and giving us the opportunity to share our vision.

We’re thrilled to see Vermont’s leading independent news outlet, Seven Days, covering the conversation about restoring catamounts to our forests.
