Coexisting with North America’s Native Carnivores
Coastal Community Forum Sponsored by the Mendocino Non-lethal Wildlife Alliance
Mendocino County currently faces a decision of whether to keep needlessly killing wildlife, or to adopt a more science-based and compassionate non-lethal approach to resolving conflicts between humans and our wild neighbors.
Project Coyote Founder and Executive Director Camilla Fox will introduce the issues at this open community forum. She will be joined by wildlife ecologist and founder of the Yellowstone Ecological Research Center, Dr. Robert Crabtree.
Dr. Crabtree will discuss why native carnivores matter, their role in keeping ecosystems resilient and healthy, how traditional predator control methods can be counterproductive and ecologically destructive, and why non-lethal approaches are proving effective in communities across the country.
