Paul Beier is a professor of conservation biology and wildlife ecology at Northern Arizona University. His 1988-1992 study of cougars documented that young cougars find and use habitat corridors to maintain gene flow among mountain ranges in urbanizing southern California. He was a lead author of the Wildlife Corridors initiative that was unanimously adopted by the Western Governors' Association in 2008. He co-authored 2 statewide maps of wildlife corridors, namely Arizona Wildlife Linkage Assessment (2006) and California Essential Habitat Connectivity (2010), and he has developed detailed corridor conservation plans for over 50 linkages in California, Arizona, and Bhutan.
