Dr. PJ White, Chief of Wildlife and Aquatic Resources at Yellowstone National Park has been awarded the 2019 Craighead Conservation Award and Raynes Citizen Conservation Award during the recent Jackson Hole Wildlife Symposium. White has researched all the major mammals in Greater Yellowstone and has worked to find solutions that help wildlife and humans coexist. He is the author of more than 125 scientific papers and many popular books, including Can’t Chew the Leather Anymore: Musings on Wildlife Conservation in Yellowstone from a Broken-down Biologist. He also wrote Yellowstone Grizzly Bears: Ecology and Conservation of an Icon of Wildness. Former Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk called White an employee who was ahead of the curve to answer questions that he as a manager didn’t yet know he needed. The Craighead Conservation Award was established in 2003 to honor the legacy of Frank and John Craighead who were prolific wildlife researchers, writers, and film makers, best known for their pioneering grizzly bear research, but were active in other conservation realms as well.
