Presentation:
Coyotes in Our Midst ~ Learning to
Live with
America's Wild "Song Dog"
RE-SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 8, 2010
at 6:30 PM
This
presentation covers coyote ecology and biology in urban and
rural ecosystems, human-coyote coexistence strategies,
coyote conflict management and the value of community-based
conservation approaches to living with coyote and other
urban wildlife. Q & A will follow the presentation.
Film:
American Coyote ~ Still Wild at Heart (30 min.)
In 2009, Project Coyote- in partnership with Living World
Films- launched a new documentary, American Coyote — Still
Wild at Heart. This compelling thirty minute film produced
by San-Francisco based filmmaker, Melissa Peabody, is a
virtual case study of the coyote’s natural range expansion
continent wide. While the film unfolds with the return of
coyotes to the San Francisco Bay area, it pursues the coyote’s
story across the North American landscape —from Northern
California to New York City's Central Park to Chicago, and
points in between.
Through interviews with coyote experts, ecologists, and
researchers, we learn about the remarkable adaptability and
resiliency of this successful native carnivore and the
challenges and opportunities coyotes provide to both urban
and rural communities. Entertaining and informative,
American Coyote — Still Wild at Heart reveals the
fascinating and complex world of Canis latrans—
their keen intelligence, amazing resourcefulness, and
importance as keystone carnivores in many ecosystems.
Presenter: Camilla H. Fox is the Founding Director of
Project Coyote, a national non-profit organization that
promotes educated coexistence between people and coyotes and

Ecology, Policy, and Conservation from Prescott College.
With over 15 years of experience working on behalf of
wildlife and wildlands, Camilla is a nationally recognized
leader in her field with expertise in native carnivore
conservation and human-wildlife conflict mitigation. A
frequent speaker on these issues, Camilla has authored more
than 60 publications and is co-author of Coyotes in Our
Midst: Coexisting with an Adaptable and Resilient Carnivore,
a contributor to the new book, New Era for Wolves and
People ~ Wolf Recovery, Human Attitudes, and Policy,
co-editor and lead author of the book, Cull of the Wild:
A Contemporary Analysis of Trapping in the United States
and producer of the companion documentary film Cull of
the Wild: The Truth Behind Trapping.
MISSION OF PROJECT
COYOTE: Project
Coyote promotes educated coexistence between people and
coyotes; we do this by championing progressive management
policies that reduce human-coyote conflict, supporting
innovative scientific research, and by fostering respect for
and understanding of America's native wild "song
dog." As a non-profit, Project Coyote
depends entirely on private donations to support the
important work we do on behalf of coyotes and other native
carnivores nationwide.
