Lizzy Pennock is the carnivore coexistence advocate at WildEarth Guardians. She works toward protecting native carnivores in the Northern Rockies from livestock conflicts on lands currently managed by the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. She started interning with WildEarth Guardians’ wildlife program as a law student and worked as a Diehl Environmental Law Fellow before starting her current role. In addition to promoting coexistence between native carnivores and livestock, she also works on bringing down Wildlife Services, the federal agency responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of native carnivores, primarily at the behest of the livestock industry.

Lizzy has been a passionate environmental advocate for the past decade, focused on both land and marine wildlife conservation. She has a B.S. in marine science from the University of Hawai`i and a J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School with a certificate in Environmental and Natural Resources Law.
