Jocelyn Akins, Executive Director of the Cascades Carnivore Project, will talk about her work with the alpine carnivores: wolverines, Cascade red foxes, and lynx. After her talk, electric vehicle (EV) experts and local EV owners will present information about electric vehicles.
An unexpected link connects electric vehicles with the wolverine, foxes and lynx.
These charismatic animals thrive in deep snow environments. The deep snow provides them shelter, where they can store food and make secure dens.
But the same adaptations that make them so effective at thriving in deep snow, reports Defenders of Wildlife, make them vulnerable to the loss of snowpack that we’re already observing from man-made climate change.
