Coyote Chronicles ~ July 2020

Since our last edition of Coyote Chronicles, the world has turned upside down. A pandemic crisis, combined with an historic social justice movement, is redefining what we consider “normal.” We are at a critical crossroads. These challenges present a unique opportunity for systemic change—change that our planet, our society and our culture so desperately need. In fact, we are already seeing that change as people increasingly act; they engage for the causes they believe in.

Notes from the Field ~ Interview with Dave Parsons re: Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery

Dave Parsons is a retired wildlife biologist who worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for 24 years, during which he oversaw the Mexican wolf recovery program. I met Dave when he served as my graduate school advisor at Prescott College, and I am proud to say he now serves on Project Coyote’s Science Advisory Board. While ostensibly retired, Dave continues his efforts to pressure the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure full recovery of Mexican wolves to their historic range. We are so very grateful to have Dave in our pack and leading this effort.

COYOTE CHRONICLES ~ MARCH 2020

While our world has been turned upside down over the past month, our work for the wild ones persists.
Unconscionably, wildlife killing contests continue in Texas, Pennsylvania and elsewhere, with participants flaunting government directives to not gather in groups of ten or more in order to avoid spreading the deadly Coronavirus. As you will read below, we continue to expose this barbarity and to work with our growing National Coalition to Ban Wildlife Killing Contests to bring an end to these horrific killfests.

Coyote Chronicles

With many state legislatures drawing to a close and others taking a summer breather, I’ve been absorbing the many accomplishments Project Coyote, our coalition partners, and like-minded individuals have achieved for animals over the last six months. While there have been some disappointments, most notably in Oregon with the defeat of the bill to ban coyote killing contests in the final hours of the legislative session, there have been several victories that will reduce animal suffering and save countless animal lives over the coming years.
