Never feed wildlife.?Feeding coyotes?intentionally or unintentionally is the cause behind many incidents of coyotes approaching or biting people. Just like domestic dogs, food can be a great motivator for uneasy wildlife – and by providing food (directly or indirectly by feeding or attracting other animals) we teach coyotes to expect food from people. By ensuring coyotes do not expect food rewards from anyone, we reduce the chances they’ll approach or get closer to people. 2 Keep dogs on leash.?In a?multi-year study, 92.3% of dogs who had encounters with coyotes were off-leash. Particularly when coyotes and other wildlife are active – dusk to dawn – keeping dogs on leash not only prevents potential issues with wildlife (who may view dogs as a threat) but can prevent and reduce traffic collisions, negative encounters with people or other dogs, and is frequently required by law. 3 Know the neighbours.?If you’re aware of which species are in your community, you can be properly prepared to encounter them and know how to appropriately react. For example, if you’re aware coyotes live in the area and one monitors or follows you through a forest, you may know that?this is a common behaviour that isn’t a threat or danger?– it’s curiosity and worry for family. 4 Manage attractants and talk to your neighbours about them.?Whether it’s a bird feeder, outdoor pet food, or an overflowing compost bin, identifying and managing attractants when wildlife are present can reduce negative encounters.?Click here to learn more about managing attractants and what to look for around your home or business. 5 Removal of wildlife is not a solution.?The idea of taking a coyote from an urban area and dropping them in a remote wilderness may seem logical, but it’s a highly traumatizing event that can lead to greater issues by breaking up family units, creating conflict within territories, and potentially spreading disease. Wildlife are in our communities because, even though they’re urban or suburban, they’re still part of ecosystems. Learning to coexist – and thrive – with wildlife around us makes for a healthier community and planet.?Learn more about the One Health approach by clicking here.

Did you know? Each year, we find loving homes for hundreds of desert tortoises who can't return to the wild due to disease risks. These amazing animals make unique pets and give you a special connection to desert wildlife. By adopting, you're also helping to protect wild populations: https://bit.ly/3oslhr4 Not ready to adopt?

?? We’re running out of time to help save hundreds of drought-stricken wild animals in Botswana! Can they count on your compassion today? With the drought worsening daily in the Makgadikgadi National Park, where the critical Boteti River is almost dry, wild animals including elephants, zebra, and lions are desperate for water. Our partner is doing their utmost to provide enough using their own boreholes and well points, but simply cannot meet the massive need. They urgently require two additional well points. Our fundraising goal is within reach – but we still haven’t raised the $6,000 (￡4,800) we need to install these life-saving water pumps. The animals have no one else to turn to; every second wasted means more animals suffer. Watch the video to see the devastating effects of the drought on these animals. ?? Please help us save wild animals in peril today.

On Cortes Island, we are working hard to protect Manson Bay Forest, a beautiful forested area with mature Douglas-fir, Western Hemlock, and Western Redcedar forest and scattered veteran trees that are at least 200 years old. What are veteran trees and why are they important? ?? They are trees that have developed some features of ancient trees, but are typically only in their second or mature stage of life. ?? They provide holes, cavities, and crevices that are important for wildlife habitat. ?? A veteran tree can be any age. All ancient trees are veteran trees, but not all veteran trees are ancient. You can help protect veteran trees today by donating to our Cortes Island campaign to conserve 35.7 acres (14.4 hectares) of sensitive forested wildlife habitat. Donate today: https://bit.ly/3YYEqAP

It might not always be possible to practice on the real thing, but that doesn’t mean good trainers can’t improvise! Please donate today https://lnkd.in/egwyW-ee to help more people get the vital training they need to confidently, competently – and courageously – save our amazing wildlife. Whatever you can give will be DOUBLED through our Big Give #ChristmasChallenge, thanks to the generosity of the Reed Foundation and our friends at the The Big Cat Sanctuary and Hertfordshire Zoo. #OneDonationDoubleTheDifference The health of wild animals is in grave danger due to human activity. People working on the conservation frontline urgently need the skills and knowledge to tackle wildlife disease, which can easily derail their efforts to protect biodiversity. But training in wildlife health is not easy to access – especially for those working in regions where biodiversity is high but economic resources are limited. WVI is unique in being able to provide and facilitate prompt, appropriate and flexible training. But we can’t do it without your support. As a small charity, we rely on the Big Give Xmas Challenge as our main fundraiser of the year. Please help us unlock our match funding and reach our ￡40k target: https://lnkd.in/egwyW-ee #TrainingVets #ChangingLives #SavingSpecies
