Ep #14 Cait Nelson on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

Tune in for our recent interview with Cait Nelson, a Wildlife Health Biologist with the BC Wildlife Health Program. We dive into all things CWD and discuss the future of the ungulate population in BC.

Cait has worked with the BC wildlife health group since 2006 and has led the BC Chronic Wasting Program for the past 12 years. Her work with CWD includes overseeing surveillance for the disease in B.C., coordinating the regional and provincial working groups, connecting with academia and other researchers to stay informed on new science, working with other jurisdictions to learn about management strategies and sharing that information with partners and stakeholders. Cait is dedicated to building a collaborative team of informed and engaged partners for the best chance of protecting B.C. wildlife from CWD and other health issues.
