James Jamie Bourdon is a passionate wildlife biologist dedicated to the study and protection of large carnivores across California. His career has focused on understanding the behavior, ecology, and conservation challenges facing species such as mountain lions and other native predators. Jamie joined the California Mountain Lion Project where he became actively involved in field research, data collection, and conservation initiatives designed to protect these remarkable animals. Through his work he has helped expand scientific understanding of predator movement, habitat use, and the ways humans and wildlife can coexist more successfully across shared landscapes. His experience in field operations and wildlife monitoring has made him a respected contributor within the conservation community.

Alongside his research work Jamie has collaborated with the Oiled Wildlife Care Network during several wildlife response efforts, assisting in capture and hazing operations that protect animals during environmental crises. He is currently based at the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve where he continues conducting field studies, tracking carnivores, and contributing valuable insights to ongoing conservation programs. Often accompanied by his loyal canine companion Mochi, Jamie brings dedication, scientific expertise, and genuine care to every project he undertakes. This engaging webinar offers participants a chance to learn directly from his experiences in the field while gaining a deeper appreciation for carnivore conservation.
