As Kevin Hansen states in his book, Bobcat: Master of Survival, “whatever the future holds for Lynx rufus, it is too important to be left in the hands of businessmen, politicians, or wildlife managers. An informed, caring, and engaged public is critical to the conservation of bobcats and all wildlife.” With that, we would encourage you to make 2017 a year of being engaged and informed citizens who will speak for those who do not have a voice. Keep a strong resolve and fight at every turn for the wildlife we share with this home we call Earth.

“Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language.” –Aldo Leopold
