Nelson Institute Environment and Resources graduate Abi Fergus (MS ‘20) is being recognized for her work as the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa wildlife specialist. Fergus worked the job while attending school full-time, but with the support of her advisor and Carnivore Coexistence Laboratory founder, Adrian Treves and supervisor Naomi Tillison, Fergus was able to merge her work and her academics. In fact, while working as the wildlife specialist, she helped to update the tribe’s Ma’iingan Relationship Plan, or wolf relationship plan, while studying non-lethal predator deterrents in the Carnivore Coexistence Lab.
