Markus Merkens

Markus is a Natural Resource Management Specialist with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks and has been using camera traps within regional parks for 7 years. His interests include learning more about which wildlife species occupy parks, seasonal and spatial patterns of use, and the effect of park management on species distribution/behaviour. Specific studies have targeted black bears and domestic dogs. Survey results are used to inform Park Management Plans and human-wildlife conflict mitigation.
