There is limited research available regarding cougars and how to coexist with them. Trail cameras gather the necessary information to ensure that our educational, outreach and reference materials are based in science and facts. Setting up an extensive trail camera network will track cougar movements to identify which cougars are most prevalent and, therefore, focus on EWC’s education efforts in these areas first. These cameras will also observe cougar behaviours which will aid EWC in identifying which behaviours are essential to educate the public on.
We are asking for one-time donations that will go towards growing our trail camera network. Our total trail camera cost to manage the network’s expansion across the MD of Bighorn is $9,000. This allows us to purchase 18 additional trail cameras that will be vital to tracking cougar movement and behaviour throughout our communities. We have already raised $2,500 towards this but need your help to reach our goal. We have options to sponsor a trail camera outright or make a monthly donation towards a camera until the total amount has been donated. Either way will go a long way to supporting our incredible cougars and the communities that coexist with them every day.
Donatins are eligible for Canadian tax receipts.
When you make a monthly donation, you join our special team of EXPOSED Insiders. You will get private access to exclusive events like online Q&A’s and slideshows with John and other special guests, as well as 10% off EXPOSED merchandise.
As Exposed continues to grow, we are looking to expand our team to include those dedicated to the betterment of apex predators! As a volunteer, you play a critical role in helping us fulfill our mission of creating change by raising awareness and appreciation of conservation issues relating to Canada’s apex predators.
