Animal migration is spectacular and globally important, yet it is vanishing. Reversing this trend requires collaboration across geographies and jurisdictions since animals cross vast distances. Studying the way people collaborate along these movements is essential to inform conservation, and this GCRT proposal, focusing on migratory land mammals, is a step to that end. Specifically, MARCHIN will: record what has been researched up to now, establish a research agenda, and roll out a study in Wyoming. This proposal is strategically structured to launch a long-term interdisciplinary research program on this important sustainability challenge.
