LIVING WITH COYOTES

Help us Foster Coexistence in Urban Communities

Conflicts with coyotes are increasing as coyotes expand their range and urban and rural sprawl encroach into wildlife habitats. Too often, the response to coyote conflicts is indiscriminate killing or forced removal—an inhumane, ineffective approach that fails to recognize the well-being, intrinsic value, and behavior of coyotes, as well as the ecological value that coyotes and other wild carnivores provide to communities.

Our Solution

Project Coyote’s Coyote Friendly Communities program partners with local stakeholders and municipalities to develop non-lethal conflict avoidance models emphasizing coexistence education, proactive public outreach, agency collaboration, and community empowerment. Our goal is to educate and equip urban audiences with the tools to implement science-based and humane conflict mitigation measures and to foster coexistence with wild carnivores through education, communication, science, and behavior modification.
