Coexisting with Wild Carnivores
OUR COEXIST CAMPAIGNS
Compassionate Coexistence
Project Coyote advocates for coexistence with North America’s wild carnivores by promoting proactive public education to reduce negative interactions, as well as replacing shortsighted and ineffective lethal control with non-lethal strategies to address human-wildlife conflicts. We work across both urban and rural communities, partnering with diverse stakeholders to disseminate effective, science-backed coexistence strategies.
WHY DO WE NEED TO COEXIST WITH WILD CARNIVORES?
Wild carnivores are intrinsically and ecologically valuable neighbors.
Too often, the response to conflicts with wild carnivores is lethal, indiscriminate, and not supported by the best available science. To replace ineffective and shortsighted lethal killing, a science-based model rooted in compassionate coexistence is necessary, where humans and wildlife learn to co-adapt and share landscapes, and where human interactions with wildlife are effectively governed to mitigate negative interactions and promote positive ones. Project Coyote advocates for coexistence with North America’s wild carnivores by promoting proactive public education to reduce negative interactions, as well as replacing shortsighted and ineffective lethal control with non-lethal strategies to address human-wildlife conflicts.
