GERI VISTEIN

Geri holds a BSc in Wildlife Biology, an MSc in Natural Resources, and an MA in Education

Geri Vistein is a Conservation Biologist whose focus is carnivores and their vital role in maintaining the biodiversity of our planet. Her work centers on educating our Maine community about carnivores, their ecology, their complex cultures and history, and how we can coexist with them. She achieves this by working closely with our farmers who wish to learn coexisting skills, by creating outreach projects with artists, musicians, and puppeteers, experiential programs for our children, giving support to educators of our children, and by presenting various programs on carnivores and us to diverse audiences all over the state of Maine.

She is the Founder of Coyote Center for Carnivore Ecology and Coexistence whose Mission is to share with community members the science we know of our returning carnivores and the skills to live well with them.
