Carl Lackey; Bear Biologist

This site is to raise funds for Carl Lackey – a dedicated wildlife biologist. Carl has

incurred debts as a result of litigation between himself and anti-hunting interests who

opposed his work as a wildlife biologist, particularly his advocacy of bear hunting. Carl

is approaching his retirement, and there is a large group of supporters who would like to

see Carl retire gracefully, as he should, without the burden of the debt he has incurred. 

 As someone who gave his all for Nevada’s wildlife, we would like to show Carl our

appreciation for the years of his devotion. 

 

Carl is a native Nevadan who is recognized as a wildlife professional and human–bear

conflict expert by bear biologists across the west. As a biologist, he has researched

black bear behavior since 1997, and is a well published author on black bears. Carl

created the Karelian Bear Dog program in Nevada. He has been a major supporter and

contributor to national and international conferences which seek to understand and

create programs to manage urban wildlife conflicts. 

 

We would like to see Carl prepare for his next chapter in life without the burden of debt

resulting from litigation involving those who opposed his work. He was just doing his

job. 

 

Any donation is welcome. Please spread the word to help support Carl. Any funds that

are generated in excess of his debt will go straight to conservation in Nevada.

06/27/2023 update to our goal, even as we attempt to gather donations the activists continue to attack Carl, attempting to access this page with small donations to gain the ability to leave nasty comments. We have been forced to remove the option to leave comments due to this behavior, our apologies.
