Abstract
The Hupa people living on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation now have management rights to their lands. In assuming management responsibilities, the tribe has worked diligently to develop a better understanding of the needs of threatened, endangered, and culturally significant wildlife and plant species. The need to fill information gaps for such species has led the Hoopa Tribe to cultivate a collaborative relationship with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in order to develop management recommendations for the imperiled, culturally significant, and forest-dependent fisher (Martes pennanti).
