About the Author

Joel Berger is John J. Craighead Professor of Wildlife Biology at the Division of Biological Sciences, University of Montana and Senior Scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Berger is a leading wildlife ecologist, and focuses on the effects of energy development on wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and western Wyoming. His decade of research on moose in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem was crucial in setting strategies and priorities for conservation techniques.  He studied caribou in Alaska and Greenland, black rhinos in Africa, and predator-prey interactions involving tigers, wolves and grizzly bears.

His work has been crucial in understanding and planning for migration paths of pronghorn, particularly how development intersects with and impacts these routes.
