This is your project.

Why making donations to science projects? Aren’t there grants? Conducting in-the-field academic projects on a wolverine-scale is outside the scope of most granting agencies. Finding a single source covering all expenses didn’t happen for us, yet we still went ahead with the project because we knew that we need more hard data on female wolverines to inform wolverine conservation.

We have had incredible support so far, and many partners have contributed to our Female Wolverines & Human Effects research project (2017 – 2022).

Who are these partners?
