I just watched your video last week! It was fascinating and beautiful.

Can citizens, especially non-Texans, exert any pressure to help you in your goals to strengthen the breeding population? Your film discusses several things that could be done, but none have been, after years of watching the population decline.

I wish I had the magical answer but to be honest I don't. For ambitious recovery efforts to take place there would have to be approval of permits at both state and federal levels and I feel your frustration over not knowing how to proceed. I'm taking the film to DC after the holidays and setting up a screening and trying to get some of the top folks at USFWS and DOI to come and get inspired (fingers crossed!). There's also a great resource guide at recoverhttps://recovertexasocelots.org/ that has some opportunities to get involved or support financially. Thanks for watching and for the question!
