Living compatibly with wildlife anywhere on this planet, and certainly within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, requires a respectful relationships with predators grounded in a greater understanding of how our lives and theirs intersect.

On Wednesday, April 10th, Dr. Taylor Chapple, a Research Scientist from Stanford University, will give a multi-media presentation on one of the most captivating and feared predators alive today, the White Shark. Dr. Chapple will share discoveries from 15 years of research across three oceans tagging, tracking and trying to understand these apex predators. He will explore why we need to change our current mantra of fear and apprehension of sharks to one of awe and appreciation. Dr. Chapple’s work to educate the public on one of the most misunderstood predators provides an example to replicate around the world.
