NEXT MEETING:Thursday, April 10, 2025
7:30 p.m. 
Topic: New Mexico Meadow Jumping Mouse
During the last century, riparian habitats across the arid American Southwest have declined due to the combined effects of intensive livestock grazing, fire, and other anthropogenic impacts. Riparian-dependent species, such as the New Mexico Meadow Jumping Mouse, face increasing threats in these fragmented, rapidly changing landscapes. Research indicates that active management efforts may be required in order to sustain viable local populations of these animals. At this month's meeting Dr. Jason Malaney will discuss his work on the New Mexico Meadow Jumping Mouse and how improved understanding of this endangered mammal provides a foundation to develop and implement management strategies for other riparian species. Speaker: Dr. Jason Malaney Dr. Jason Malaney is the Curator of Biosciences at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Sciences. He is a native New Mexican, received his undergraduate degree and MS degree from Eastern New Mexico University and his PhD from the University of New Mexico. He has a deep passion for wild places and uses museum specimens as a foundation to better understand the ecology and evolution of wildlife across Western North America. Directions to the Meeting: The Albuquerque Friends Meeting House is located at the corner of 5th and Bellamah. From I-40, take the 6th street exit, then South to Bellamah. Support AWF's work!
