What a night in the Marin Headlands! Over 150 people came out to Felidae's
new offices at Fort Cronkhite, to celebrate and enjoy this beautiful new
home for our organization located fittingly within a future study area for
the Bay Area Puma Project. A broad mix of Felidae's friends, associates and
supporters, from top wildlife biologists to youth volunteers, conversed
freely and enjoyed spirited live music from Santa Cruz native and long-term
mountain lion watcher Tod Neil Page. Biologist Mark Elbroch gave a gripping
presentation about the biological detective work in the Patagonia Puma
Project, which is proving that pumas are not in fact responsible for the
decline in the local endangered antelope species, and therefore do not need
to be exterminated. It was an enjoyable and educational evening for all, in
a truly beautiful location with the roar of the Pacific as a constant
backdrop. We look forward to having many more such events in the months and
years to come.

Thank you to our volunteers for making this event possible!
Stay tuned for our next event in April!
