There’s Good News: Think Wild’s Kylie Lanuza recognized for outstanding conservation efforts

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Think Wild Central Oregon says that one of it's own, Kylie Lanuza, has been awarded the 2026 Bob Sallinger Memorial Summer Fellowship from Bird Conservation Oregon!

This fellowship honors the legacy of Bob Sallinger, a longtime Oregon conservation leader whose work combined science, collaboration, and a deep commitment to protecting wildlife and wild places.

Think Wild says Kylie’s work embodies that same spirit. She leads the nonprofit's community science efforts, engaging volunteers in hands-on wildlife research that directly supports conservation across Oregon.

Congratulations, Kylie!
