October 2021
The last few months have been a rollercoaster ride with several significant wins for wildlife, as well as some losses. It’s often two steps forward and one step back — especially when it comes to wildlife conservation in the United States.

Protect Vermont’s Wildlife!
The Vermont State Legislature is currently considering a bill, S.281, that would ban the barbaric practice of abusing hounds to chase and kill coyotes—and we need your help to get it passed!
A Message From Dan Flores 2020
I ask that you join me in honoring Project Coyote’s tireless efforts to protect our wild denizens, to speak for those who have no voice, and to view “compassionate coexistence” as not just a catchphrase, but a mission and a way of life.
A traveling exhibition curated by University of Michigan graduate student Catherine Plank, “The Spirit of the Hunt” was designed to raise public awareness about the fact that Michigan’s wolves no longer have federal protections under the Endangered Species Act and could be subject to state-sanctioned slaughter.
All the artwork in the show was donated by artists with the goal of inspiring coexistence between humans and the wolves and coyotes in the Great Lakes region. Artwork will be available for purchase at the exhibit, and online afterwards. Details for online purchase will be provided at a later date.
Proceeds from the sale of the exhibition’s pieces will be donated to Project Coyote to support coexistence with native carnivores in the Great Lakes region and the organization’s Protect America’s Wolves campaign. Link in bio for more details!

So what can you do? Spread the word. Check your state legislature for bills where you could provide testimony to end trapping. And make sure you're following us and sharing our posts so that people outside of the environmental advocacy world are made aware.

As a reminder, a judge ruled that the original 2015 rule was not based on the best available science, would not further the conservation of Mexican wolves, and was inappropriately linked to a non-binding, discretionary recovery plan which calls for nearly a third of the necessary recovery to occur in Mexico. The proposed revision is not much changed from the 2015 rule and so also fails to adequately address issues raised in the 2018 Court Order — and to ensure the survival of these wolves.
We’ll address this more but we do want you to know that your voice matters. Thank you for speaking out for lobos.

WHO WE ARE
Project Coyote, a national non-profit organization based in Northern California, is a North American coalition of scientists, educators, ranchers and citizen leaders promoting compassionate conservation and coexistence between people and wildlife through education, science and advocacy. We work to change laws and policies to protect native carnivores from abuse and mismanagement, advocating coexistence instead of killing.
WHAT WE DO
All of our work — through education, science, and advocacy — strives to create fundamental and systemic changes in the ways wild carnivores are viewed and treated in North America. Project Coyote seeks to stop the wanton and cruel killing of native carnivores, to reform predator management, to create successful models of coexistence, and to inspire the next generation to care for Wild Nature.
WHY CARNIVORES
Since European colonists stepped foot on the North American continent, native carnivores have been viewed as a threat to livestock and to species humans hunt for food. Like Native Americans, carnivores have been brutally killed and bountied in an effort to eradicate their populations. As the most persecuted and maligned native predator, the coyote represents all misunderstood and exploited predators.
