Bay Area Puma Project

The Bay Area Puma Project is the first major study of pumas (also called mountain lions or cougars) in the south San Francisco Bay Area.〔Peter Fimrite, (Tracking Mountain Lions-For Their Own Good ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'', January 11, 2009〕 Launched in May 2008 in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the study is currently underway () with nine cats being tracked using GPS-accelerometer collars. This project is the first phase of a projected ten-year conservation effort to preserve and protect the Bay Area puma population. The study is being conducted by researchers at UC Santa Cruz in partnership with Felidae Conservation Fund, with coordination from the California Department of Fish and Game and California State Parks.〔("Bay Area Puma Project" information page, Felidae Conservation Fund, accessed 18 February 2009 )〕
==Background==
The puma is a close neighbor of many communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. In recent years, the rapid pace of development in the region has caused settled areas to expand into puma territory, resulting in more frequent human-puma encounters and creating serious challenges for habitat connectivity and the sustainability of the puma population. Moreover, because pumas are the top predator in the local ecosystem, a decline in the health of the puma population would affect the health of many other species and that of the ecosystem as a whole. In order to successfully address these challenges, greater understanding about the puma population is needed to enable more informed dialog among decision makers, so that the issues can be resolved effectively and healthy co-existence can be achieved between human communities and puma populations.〔〔("Tracking Urban Lions"- KQED 88.5 FM Interview with David Gorn - January 12, 2009; accessed 18 February 2009 )〕〔("UC Santa Cruz to lead pioneering study of pumas in the Santa Cruz Mountains", UC Santa Cruz Press Release- May 6, 2008; accessed 18 February 2009 )〕
