--Harley Shaw, retired biologist with the Arizona Fish and Game Department and an international expert on mountain lions
Sue Morse, the founder of Keeping Track®, is highly regarded as an expert in natural history and one of the top wildlife trackers in North America. Since 1977, she has been monitoring wildlife, with an emphasis on documenting the presence and habitat requirements of bobcat, black bear, Canada lynx and cougar.
When not in the field conducting research, leading training programs or photographing wildlife, Sue can often be found presenting her findings and award-winning images to a wide range of audiences, including the general public, conservation leaders and students of all ages. Over the years, the University of Vermont graduate has served as mentor to many young people, going out of her way to take curious students on her forays and in the process inspiring many to pursue careers in natural resources.

About Keeping Track
Our Philosophy
The fragmentation
and destruction of
habitat is
a primary cause of
decline in wildlife populations.
decline in wildlife populations.
When development or irresponsible resource
extraction occurs, critical habitat is often
unwittingly harmed, simply because no one
realizes that the area affected is an important
denning, feeding, wintering or travel area for
one or more species. The isolation of wildlife
populations within fragmented habitats severely
compromises the long-term well-being of
many species as healthy ecosystem functions,
services and resiliency declines over time.
By monitoring potential habitats and
recording evidence of use by “focal
species” over multiple years - citizens can
obtain the information needed to make informed
decisions about wildlife habitat stewardship.
Our adult and youth training programs are
designed to both inspire community volunteers
as well as turn them into practitioners of a
science-based field study methodology.
Keeping Track® recognizes that more
“boots on the ground” field research is
essential if we are to successfully conserve
an appropriate matrix of core and connective habitats.
