CAREER SYNOPSIS – SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Early research focused on seabird ecology and breeding behavior but the major career emphasis has been
population ecology of large mammals, moose, caribou and black bears specifically. Numerous long term field
studies have been strategically combined to elucidate the processes of population change in these species,
including the effects of human disturbance and habitat alteration, hunting, predator-prey interactions, densitydependent nutritional factors, and the influence of both short and long-term weather and climatic patterns on
fecundity and survival. This research has been partnered with a variety of academic, public and government
institutions and results have been published in a wide range of peer-reviewed journals and presented at numerous
national and international colloquia. The most ambitious initiative is an exhaustive synthesis and interpretation of
sixty years of caribou research and monitoring information for the island of Newfoundland, presently assembled in
thirteen volumes and directed towards a complete history of the meta-population dynamics of resident populations
from the mid-1800's to the present day. Few wildlife studies of comparable length and intensity are available for
comparison anywhere in the world.
Specific research projects have included: Black Bear denning ecology, movements and densities in coastal barrens
and mixed softwood forest communities; Black Bear and Canada Lynx predation on neonatal moose and caribou;
population dynamics, behavior and habitat selection in Woodland Caribou; effects of timber harvesting, specifically
clear cut logging, on summer habitat use and calf survival in Woodland Caribou; behavioural, ecological and
population responses of moose, caribou and bears to timber harvesting within the Model Forest of Western
Newfoundland; ecology of Woodland Caribou inhabiting the Long Range Mountains of Western Newfoundland,

including their strategies for utilizing ecological and altitudinal gradients for foraging and predator avoidance;
effects of artificial food sources - municipal landfills - on the densities and foraging strategies of Black Bears; the
role of ecological and moose population parameters in the frequency and distribution of moose-vehicle accidents;
effects of moose browsing on forest succession generally and Balsam Fir regeneration specifically; morphology and
taxonomy of Black Bears in Newfoundland and North America; the effects of mining and hydro developments on
the distribution and population dynamics of Woodland Caribou; and the impact of newly arrived Eastern Coyotes
on the survival of Newfoundland caribou.
With recent appointments and additional responsibilities the research focus has expanded to include wider
economic, natural resource and conservation issues best conceptualized as inclusive to Sustainable Development.
Research thrusts now involve socio-economic evaluations of natural resource development options, landscape
management planning and community based stewardship, and climate change implications for resource and
community sustainability.
CAREER SYNOPSIS – NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Throughout the 1980’s, wildlife management responsibilities included the full range of conversation prescriptions
for Woodland Caribou and Black Bear, and later for Moose. These culturally and economically important species
were the focus of both recreational and entrepreneurial sustainable use programs and the focus of considerable
and sustained public scrutiny. The viability of these populations and their resilience within harvest regimes and
competing land use developments encompassed a complex of competing social and economic interests.
Resource management duties and deliverables included: the setting of hunting seasons and quotas for big game
species in Newfoundland; the interpretation and evaluation of big game population size and age structure
information, hunter return data, and jaw bone records for these species; regular consultation and discussion with
resource based industries including forestry, mining and hydro-electric companies; frequent presentations to and
consultations with hunting and trapping organizations including the wildlife outfitting associations as well as
members of the general and hunting public; ongoing involvement with the provincial and sometimes federal
Environmental Assessment Process and related issues, including interaction with other resource agencies,
industries and consultants; and the formation and development of wildlife policies pertaining to big game
populations, but also including such matters as game farming, commercialization of wildlife, habitat protection via
protected areas and reserve legislation and policy development respecting the use of all-terrain vehicles.
From 2003 onward engagements in resource conservation and management were expanded under responsibilities
for Sustainable Development to encompass all natural resources as well as the broader social policies of community
based stewardship and industry support for conservation.
CAREER SYNOPSIS – ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
In addition to assuming extensive direction and management responsibilities for existing government programs
several provincial resource conservation and science innovations were conceived, promoted, eventually
established, and led. These are: the provincial Wildlife Research and Inventories Unit (1990), the provincial Science
Division for Wildlife and Protected Areas (2000), the Institute for Biodiversity, Ecosystem Science and Sustainability
(IBES) (2001), and the Sustainable Development and Strategic Science Branch (2006). In all instances the design and
function of these organizations were fully developed and subsequently approved and funded essentially as
proposed. All of these entities have focused on establishing scientific foundations for conservation policy
development and decision-making in government.
SHANE PATRICK MAHONEY

The Institute for Biodiversity, Ecosystem Science and Sustainability (IBES) is an entirely unique conservation
concept, a provincial government arm that resides within the academic community (Memorial University of
Newfoundland) and facilitates all aspects of academic research and collaboration appropriate to government
priorities in natural resource conservation. Graduate students are supported by IBES at any university
internationally as long as their research is focused on provincial priorities. Preferentially student advisory
committees are composed of academics from more than one university helping to maximize the talent bearing on
the research at hand and elaborating the student's educational experience. IBES now has linkages with universities
in Germany, Canada, Britain, Ireland and Egypt. The IBES organizational design was influenced by inspection and
studies of numerous conservation research and Sustainable Development delivery models worldwide.
CAREER SYNOPSIS – FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Fiscal and human resource management responsibilities have extended from single to multiple programs, and
eventually to separate government Divisions and Branches, both the latter involving multi-million dollar annual
budgets and complex program and staff compliments; and to the Institute for Biodiversity, Ecosystem Science and
Sustainability with its complex academic partnerings.
Financial planning and management extended from developing budgets and financial forecasts to rationalizing
multi-year programs involving bi- and multi-lateral contributions and agreements. Personnel management
extended from the identification and description of staffing requirements, ranging through clerical and
administrative to scientific and managerial, to all aspects of recruitment and human resource orientation and
management, the latter including performance reviews, disciplinary action, and advancement. Because of the
diverse nature of programs a broad range of employee classifications and adjunct associates were involved,
including graduate students, university faculty, conservation officers, biologists, program managers, financial and
policy analysts and directors. Furthermore, due to the ongoing collaborative nature of the programs, particularly in
research, the fiscal and human resource management responsibilities were subject to scrutiny by many partnering
industry and academic associations, as well as the normal legislative and bureaucratic government hierarchies.
CAREER SYNOPSIS - EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Significant and sustained efforts in conservation communication have been engaged over a twenty-five year period,
encompassing three global principles. The first is that conservation is integral to human progress and happiness; the
second that science is crucial for successful conservation decisions; and the third that hunting (sustainable use writ
large) and hunters are the most powerful conservation forces in the world.
While these messages have been communicated at every opportunity their strategic delivery has been
accomplished through an aggressive agenda of public lectures, keynote addresses, focused workshops, facilitated
discussions, convention speeches, conference chairmanships, scientific papers, book chapters, popular articles,
television productions, radio commentaries, video (DVD) and audio (CD) products, educational curricula for high
schools and universities, and advisory services to conservation organizations and programs. While many
publications and media productions have reached national and international audiences, personal appearances and
lectures have occurred in almost all Canadian provinces and American states, as well as in Finland, Sweden,
Norway, Turkey, Serbia, Slovenia, United Arab Emirates, Germany, England, Cyprus, Romania, and Belgium.
While sustainable use of natural resources has been generally referenced, a special emphasis in public education
has also been given to the history of the North American Conservation Model and the role of hunting in wildlife
conservation. Hunting's relevance in modern times and the philosophical basis of why we hunt have been
SHANE PATRICK MAHONEY
PAGE 4
significant themes influencing the current international debate over hunting, and have been repeatedly explored in
public discourse as a means of maintaining public support for legal and scientifically managed hunting programs
around the world. In addition to professional and scientific gatherings audiences have included a wide array of
political assemblies, municipal councils, school boards, community groups, student leadership colloquia, industry
gatherings, boards of trade, art and film festivals and trade shows.
In addition to these presentations since 1985 approximately 300 television, radio and newspaper interviews have
been completed, involving regional, national and international media.
CAREER SYNOPSIS –ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT
Academic engagement with faculty and graduate students has been ongoing through the Institute of Biodiversity
and Ecosystem Science and Sustainability since its inception in 2001. Over 70 graduate students (Honours, Masters,
Doctorate) from universities throughout the world have benefited from financial, logistical, and scientific expertise
and field support provided to them by IBES.
Co-supervisor and committee member for a large number of graduate students from Memorial University of
Newfoundland, University of New Brunswick, Trent University, University of Montana, University of Massachusetts,
Acadia University.
