Our Wild World

My guest Camilla Fox, founder of Project Coyote, leads national advocacy efforts to outlaw killing contests in states across the US using scientific data and compelling documentaries, indicating people no longer tolerate the cruel and wasteful behavior of a few that treat our carnivores as vermin, and not the critical and essential ecosystem architects with roles in the web of life. The North American Wildlife model is weighted to protect game species for economic value, leaving fur-bearing, non-game species such as coyotes, foxes, bobcats and even wolves and lions, with little or no protections whatsoever-listed as pests to be legally killed year-round, including mass killing contests and no bag limits. Starting in CA, this is changing as a result of Camilla and her team’s work. Project Coyote is national non-profit organization based in CA that promotes compassionate conservation and coexistence between people and wildlife through education, science, and advocacy.
