With more wolves recently reintroduced to Colorado, ranchers have access to a range of readily available and proven non-lethal tools to help prevent wolf-farm animal conflicts. Colorado Parks and Wildlife's (CPW) Wolf-Livestock Conflict Minimization Program Guide outlines effective strategies—including range riders, exclusion fencing, scare devices, and livestock guardian dogs—while also detailing available support from CPW, state and federal agencies, and nongovernmental organizations. By implementing science-backed coexistence strategies, ranchers can reduce the chance of conflict while fostering a landscape where wolves can return to their ancestral range.

关于我们
Project Coyote is a national non-profit organization based in Northern California whose mission is to promote compassionate conservation and coexistence between people and wildlife through education, science and advocacy. Our representatives, advisory board members and supporters include scientists, conservationists, educators, and citizen leaders who work together to change laws and policies to protect native carnivores from abuse and mismanagement, advocating coexistence instead of killing. We seek to change negative attitudes toward coyotes, wolves, bears, bobcats and other misunderstood predators by replacing ignorance and fear with understanding, respect and appreciation. A core philosophy of Project Coyote is that human-coyote coexistence requires alliance building and outreach. We foster collaboration and are part of several national, state, and local coalitions that focus on native carnivore conservation and protection.

?????Speak up for Grizzly Bears!?Submit a comment to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife by March 17 ???? Grizzly bears once roamed across the western United States, but relentless hunting and trapping over the past few centuries nearly wiped them out. Thanks to decades of protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), these iconic bears have begun to recover and regain their rightful, ecologically critical place in North American ecosystems. ? ?? Some good news for grizzly bears: In January, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) rejected efforts by Wyoming and Montana to strip grizzlies of ESA protections so more could be killed. Instead, USFWS proposed regulations to keep grizzlies listed as a threatened species across Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming—a significant step in the right direction. ? ?? But here’s the bad news: The current proposal would remove ESA protections for grizzlies outside Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming—which would spell disaster for bears that migrate through and live in other states. Worse yet, the plan would make it easier for ranchers and landowners to kill grizzlies—undoing years of progress toward their recovery. Adding to the uncertainty, public hearings on the proposal were canceled under the new administration, and there’s a real danger that the stronger protections could be reversed while the harmful provisions remain. ???? Grizzlies need your voice now. Please submit a comment by March 17 telling FWS to stand firm and protect grizzly bears!?https://lnkd.in/ei98U22h #GrizzlyBears #EndangeredSpecies #CompassionateCoexistence

Wyoming Lawmakers Refuse to Ban Killing Wildlife with Snowmobiles Across the country, bills with major implications for gray wolves, coyotes, and other wildlife are being introduced, revealing the deep divide between scientific and ethical coexistence and outdated, inhumane, unscientific practices. In Wyoming, HB 275, a bill aimed at outlawing the torture of predatory animals, advanced WITHOUT a critical amendment that would have explicitly banned the intentional killing of wildlife with snowmobiles. Meanwhile, a separate bill, HB 332, which sought to prohibit the practice of running over predatory animals with vehicles, failed to advance out of committee. These decisions by Wyoming legislators are especially appalling in light of the Wyoming wolf incident, in which a Wyoming man named Cody Robert brutally chased down a young female wolf with a snowmobile, later boasting about it on social media, and ultimately killing her. The incident sparked national outrage, yet Wyoming legislators still refuse to adopt even the most basic wildlife protections. This failure to act sends a dangerous message: that the reckless killing of wildlife is acceptable under the guise of "management." But make no mistake—this is not management. It is cruelty. It is unethical. And it must end. The fight for wolves continues. For more updates, follow our partners at Team Wolf. #ProtectAmericasWolves #TeamWolf #WorthMoreAlive ?? NPS, Josh Spice

A new study reveals that dense human populations are linked to longer urban coyote survival. While these adaptable canids spend plenty of time in natural spaces, it’s often human factors—more than the environment itself—that shape their success in urban areas. This research highlights the complex relationship between wildlife and city life, reinforcing the need for coexistence strategies that prioritize education, proactivity, and respect. ??

As our country navigates deep political divisions, Project Coyote remains steadfast in our mission: to protect wild carnivores and advocate for a world where coexistence with wildlife becomes the norm.

Volume up! ???? Here's a #TrailCamThursday first from Sally Naser! This incredible (and loud) footage captures a gray fox yipping in the snow, possibly calling for a mate as breeding season is underway. We listen and we don't judge. Gray foxes typically mate in February or March, with kits arriving in April or May after a ~52-day gestation. Kits open their eyes around 10 days, start exploring at 4 weeks, and are weaned by 10 weeks. The family sticks together until late fall before going solo for winter. Have a trail cam video you'd like to share? Send it to [email protected] for a chance to be featured! ?? Sally Naser, CR Wildlife Cams
