Hi all.
Thanks to Jake Sigg’s excellent e-letter “Nature News from Jake Sigg” received yesterday, I’m delighted to pass on info about a new Website called Project Coyote: http://www.ProjectCoyote.org and info@projectcoyote.org (general email) out of Larkspur. I quote briefly:
“Project Coyote creates innovative solutions that foster peaceful coexistence between people and coyotes.
We also champion progressive management policies that reduce the number of human-coyote conflicts and the number of coyotes destroyed. We accomplish this by promoting awareness and understanding of the essential role coyotes play in maintaining a healthy, natural environment and by supporting and promoting humane and ecologically sound solutions to human-coyote conflicts.”
The outstanding color fotos on this exceptional site are guaranteed to wring a heartfelt “awwww” from any animal lover. And oh, those puppy pix especially… Needless to say, I’m a big coyote “fan” and am very pleased to see such a well-done and educational site.
This org is part of the global network of conservation organizations called the Earth Island Institute. Please do check this site out for more info about these dedicated people and their goals.
Just thought this site might be of interest to you and your readers if you don’t already know about it. They have some cool bookmarks — see http://www.projectcoyote.org/bookmark_large.jpg.
I was thinking that the film “Still Wild at Heart” would be good to display at the Warming Hut, Crissy Field Center, and the Visitors’ Center at the Main Post Officers’ Club if it’s not already. This is educational and beautiful!
