The success of
this project was dependent on a variety of sources.
Most importantly we would like to thank the Living Landscapes
program, including both the Royal British Columbia Museum and the
Columbia Basin Trust, and the Canada Trust Friends of the Environment
Foundation for funding this project.
We would also like to thank all the people who put up posters
for us. We also very
much appreciated the concern and enthusiasm that was displayed by
all the people who reported sightings.
