info_outlineThis is a replay of my interview with Camilla Fox, founder of Project Coyote (www.projectcoyote.org). We discuss the importance of coyotes and other carnivores to balance ecosystems. We talk about why there is fear around these and animals and most importantly, why there should not be fear around these animals.
We also touch on the horrible act of wildlife killing contests. Something that I was hoping, wishful thinking, would be banned in all 50 states by now. Unfortunately it is still legal in most of our states.
Listen in and learn how Camilla Fox and Project Coyote are dedicating their time to help the public change their negative thinking about these carnivores.
Here is their website so you can learn more and find out ways you can help https://projectcoyote.org/take-action/
