For the final episode of FieldSound Season 2, we’re revisiting an episode from season one with Laura Prugh, wildlife ecologist and associate professor at the UW School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
Prugh is also part of the Washington Predator-Prey Project, which studies the potential ecological impact of recolonizing wolves in Washington state.
Wolf numbers in Washington have been steadily growing, raising questions about what the return of this large predator species means for ecosystems, deer populations and people alike.
A recent paper reported that human activities are likely limiting the impact of wolves on one of their primary food sources – white-tailed deer.
You can read about the Washington Predator-Prey Project and their findings over at our website at www.environment.uw.edu.
Enjoy this conversation with Laura Prugh and stay tuned for FieldSound Season 3 coming September 2024.
