A mountain lion conservation group is asking for the public's help after three of its trail cameras were stolen in the last week.
The information they get from the footage helps them better understand these creatures and how to live alongside them, said Denise Peterson, founder of Utah Mountain Lion Conservation.
Her curiosity and decades of experience with big cats pushed her to found the group in 2017, which recently became a nonprofit. Unfortunately, the equipment used to gather film and data from both projects went missing in three undisclosed locations. Peterson is disappointed that people would take such important equipment that cost the organization about $20,000.* to help purchase new cameras if they are not able to recover them.
