Animal Protection of New Mexico (APNM) organized interested agencies in the state (New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, US Forest Service, New Mexico State Parks, Santa Fe County Open Space) to provide materials on and promote cougar safety when recreating and living in cougar country. We will be launching the campaign at the City’s National Get Outdoor Day event on June 19, where most of these agencies and APNM will have booths and cougar safety materials (trailhead poster, flyer for distribution at agency and other offices, and a luggage tag for kids’ backpacks). After that, APNM will be meeting again to discuss future outreach projects.
