Corey Anco is an ecologist and the Willis McDonald IV Curator of Natural Science with the Draper Natural History Museum, part of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming. Anco began working with the Draper Natural History Museum in 2017. Previously, he worked for the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wildlife Conservation Society, and National Geographic Society’s Big Cats Initiative. He also spent a winter volunteering with the U.S. Geological Survey’s wolf-deer project in northern Minnesota. Academically, Anco earned a Bachelor of Science from Lewis University, Master of Environmental Management from Duke University, and Master of Science in Biology from Fordham University. Anco and a team of researchers from the Bureau of Land Management, Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology at the University of California, Davis, Northwest College, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are currently studying the Pinyon Jays in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin. Anco believes that the resiliency of wildlands, fauna, flora, and funga depend on thoughtful stewardship of public and private lands.
