This grant agreement is being awarded to Kansas State University to undertake a critical wildlife monitoring project. The primary purpose of this initiative is to meticulously estimate the populations, densities, and total colony area of black-tailed prairie dogs. This essential research will specifically focus on lands immediately surrounding an established black-footed ferret reintroduction site. By collecting precise data on prairie dog populations, this grant aims to support broader ecological understanding and conservation strategies for both the prairie dogs and the endangered black-footed ferrets, which depend on prairie dog colonies for their survival. This collaborative effort highlights a commitment to scientific research and biodiversity preservation.
