Mountains play some unique ecological roles, with diverse ecosystems that host a gamut of species that can shift from bottom to top, rainy side to dry side, sun to shade. For species on the move due to climate change, mountains can offer a refuge. But mountains often experience a higher rate of climate change than other areas. In the March/April issue of The Wildlife Professional, we explore these mountain ecosystems and the ways that species are responding to the changes taking place around them.

Our special focus looks at some unique ways that wildlife professionals are reaching out to the public, from innovative social media posts to virtual wildlife contests to involving the public in research work. John Koprowski, the 2022 Aldo Leopold Memorial Award recipient, shares how a purple bike can transform our relationship with the natural world. And TWS Member Engagement Manager Mariah Beyers shares some of the many reasons to be charmed by the 2024 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
