Keeping it Wild:
Youth Education

Project Coyote’s Keeping It Wild program educates the next generation of wildlife advocates about wild carnivores and coexistence, fosters respect and compassion for wildlife, and contributes to students’ environmental and scientific literacy. In a world with increasing climatic instability, declining biodiversity, and increasing threats to wild carnivores, it’s more important than ever to inform, inspire, and empower students to act conscientiously on behalf of their wild neighbors and our shared planet. Learning about wild carnivores, asking meaningful questions, and conducting careful investigations teaches students about broader issues including the interconnectedness of ecosystems, community, and public health. We provide educators with curricula and resources to teach about the important role that wild carnivores play in ecosystem health and how to live peacefully alongside wildlife.
