DANIEL KINKADr. Daniel Kinka's primary responsibilities as Wildlife Restoration Specialist, are restoring and monitoring wildlife on Wild Sky Ranches and the Reserve, as well as acting as a liaison to neighbors, NGOs, government agencies, and other external entities. He joined American Prairie Reserve in 2018, shortly after completing his doctoral degree in ecology at Utah State University where he studied the use of livestock guardian dogs to promote coexistence between carnivores and ranchers.
