Abstract
This WCS report describes the importance of the transboundary Flathead area for carnivore conservation by providing information on the region’s five carnivore species (wolf, lynx, marten, wolverine, and grizzly bear) and three key prey species ( moose, elk, and white-tailed deer). The author recommends a transboundary conservation plan that aims to maintain food resources, protect against mortality with networks of core reserves, and maintain connectivity between core reserves.
