Wildlife biologist, Rick Sinnott has been studying and interacting with Anchorage moose, bears, birds, foxes, coyotes and wolves for over thirty years. From DNA sampling bears to putting GPS collars on wolves and moose, Sinnott discusses how he tracks Anchorage’s animal populations for urban planning purposes. Most Alaskans agree wildlife adds to the quality of life, which is why Sinnott aims for “Planning to Keep Big, Wild Life in Anchorage.”
