When Mountain Lions Are Neighbors: People and Wildlife Working It Out in California (with a New Preface) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781597146388)

Beth Pratt has worked in environmental leadership roles for over thirty years, and in two of the country's largest national parks: Yosemite and Yellowstone. As the California Regional Executive Director for the National Wildlife Federation, Pratt led the #SaveLACougars campaign to build the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing outside of Los Angeles. Her innovative conservation work has been featured by the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, BBC World Service, CNN, CBS This Morning, the Los Angeles Times, Men's Journal, the Guardian, NPR, AP News, and more. She is also the author of I Heart Wildlife and the upcoming Yosemite Wildlife. Beth makes her home outside of Yosemite, "my north star," with her six dogs, two cats, and the mountain lions, bears, foxes, frogs, and other wildlife that frequent her backyard.

Collin O'Mara serves as President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. A native of Syracuse, New York, O'Mara was a Marshall Scholar at the University of Oxford, a University Fellow at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, and a Presidential Scholar at Dartmouth College.
