Into Lion Country: Research on Colorado’s Top Predator

Mountain lions are elusive but essential to healthy Colorado ecosystems. In this program, Genevieve Fuller shares findings from the Book Cliffs research on how lions move, what habitats they rely on, and how they coexist with people. Learn how biologists track and study these secretive predators and how the science guides wildlife management in western Colorado, including near Colorado National Monument. 

 Genevieve Fuller is a wildlife biologist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife specializing in large carnivore research and management. Her career has focused on wolves across the western United States, including work with the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program in Arizona and long-term gray wolf monitoring in Minnesota and Yellowstone. She has extensive experience in wildlife capture, aerial telemetry, and field research in remote environments, and is passionate about using science to inform conservation and coexistence. 

Monument on Tap is a CNMA lecture series that takes the learning out of the park and into the community—supporting local voices, shared knowledge, and meaningful connection.
