Project Coyote believes that education is key to shifting the way we view and treat coyotes, wolves, mountain lions, and other wild carnivores, who are intrinsically valuable and vital to creating and sustaining healthy ecosystems.
Engaging with the public on various media platforms allows us to reach large numbers of people and a wide variety of audiences efficiently and effectively. Providing factual, science-based information via written pieces, radio interviews, and podcasts helps change negative attitudes toward misunderstood carnivores by replacing ignorance and fear with understanding, respect, and appreciation.
We would like to share some recent media appearances, both written and spoken, featuring members of the Project Coyote Pack.
