Contributors to conflict and coexistence with urban coyotes: Lessons from Edmonton
Conflict with coyotes is increasing in Calgary, Edmonton, and cities across North America with animals that seem bolder and more prevalent in residential areas. Over the past 15 years, participants in the Edmonton Urban Coyote Project have studied factors that contribute to conflict between people and coyotes as well as the actions by people that can reduce conflict. This presentation will share information about coyote movement, behavior, diet, microbiome, and parasites to provide evidence for recommendations about how community members can contribute to successful coexistence while maintaining the safety of people, pets and wildlife.
Hosted by Colleen Cassady St. Clair, Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta
Time: 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Where: Online via Zoom

We are so happy to announce that the Fish Creek Speaker Series is returning to the Fish Creek Environmental Learning Centre and in an even more accessible format! Now we are putting technology to work to increase accessibility for audience members who may not be able to attend in-person, and so we can bring in presenters from further afield. Presentations from October to March will take place virtually through Zoom. Online presentations may also be provided if presenters are located in a distant region.
