Weston Roundtable Series

Associate Professor Adrian Treves, director of the Carnivore Coexistence Lab, Nelson Institute. Predictive spatial models (risk maps) promise early warning and targeted prevention of hazards to safeguard both humans and native biodiversity. Treves presents a risk map for gray wolf attacks on livestock in Wisconsin, 1999-2006, that identified risk in 88 percent of subsequent attack sites from 2007-09. Treves invites discussion of how to adapt risk maps for diverse environmental hazards.
