Mountain Lions in Our Community: Big Cats versus Humans

The Oakland Zoo will hold a public talk about mountain lions in our community on Wednesday, March 18, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Participants include the Bay Area Puma Project, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Mountain Lion Foundation.

“We live with lions,” said Amy Gotliffe, Conservation Director at Oakland Zoo. “As an apex predator that requires a large territory, mountain lions and humans are dealing with increasing ‘Human-Wildlife Conflict’ I am tremendously proud that the Bay Area Puma Project, the Mountain Lion Foundation, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Oakland Zoo are working as an alliance to conserve these native animals. Communication, teamwork and imagination is what it will take to conserve all wildlife, and I am thrilled we are part of that path.”

The Conservation Speaker Series will take place in Oakland Zoo’s Zimmer Auditorium, located in the lower entrance of the Zoo. Parking is free and the admission price for the evening’s speaker presentations is $12.00 - $20.00 per person.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to mountain lion conservation.
