Will Taylor’s Research Reclassifies Colorado Moose as Native
New research by Professor Will Taylor has debunked the long-held belief that Colorado’s moose are an "invasive" species introduced in the 1970s.
By pairing Indigenous traditional knowledge and oral histories with historical records, Will and an interdisciplinary team proved that moose are actually native to the southern Rocky Mountains. This major discovery has huge implications for local wildlife conservation and has captured widespread media attention:
