A BIG THANK YOU to the many MBCA members and supporters who wrote letters and appeared at events to support this.
Read about the new Monuments in this LA Times article and a Q&A document from the Department of the Interior . It has detailed
information about the process leading to this action and what it means for each new Monument.
End of Bobcat Trapping
August 5, 2015 - a Red-Letter Day! MBCA along with thousands of supporters are celebrating the California Fish and Game Commission's vote to enact a statewide ban on bobcat trapping. Many MBCA supporters wrote letters and the number of letters in support of the statewide ban was over 25,000, which certainly helped sway the vote. Thank you!

Project Bobcat: MBCA Supports Option 2
On July 16, 2015, MBCA sent the Commission a formal comment letter in support of Option 2 (statewide trapping ban) over Option 1, noting that if the Commission doesn't support a ban, they must add dozens of bobcat trapping buffer zones in protected areas around the state.
Project Bobcat Action Alert
On July 8, 2015, Project Bobcat issued an Action Alert asking supporters to send one more round of letters in support of a statewide ban on bobcat trapping. Additional evidence of support for a ban is needed because of an unexpected change in the membership of the Commission; two of the ban supporters have been replaced! Please help by reading the Action Alert and acting on the request for comments if you can - by Friday, July 31, at Noon.
