How can we prevent these animals from going extinct? Beginning in 2004, Defenders is coming together with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish Wildlife to track, capture, and put collars on Bobcats in the State of New Jersey in order to determine their movement and the habitats that are important for the Bobcat's survival. This valuable data will help biologists create a protection and management strategy that focuses on preserving the most critical bobcat information and habitat. (www.defenders.com)
