How we can coexist with coyotes, and other lessons from Stanley Park

Researchers are sharing lessons from the unprecedented Stanley Park coyote attacks from 2020 to 2021 to help people better coexist with urban wildlife. Coyotes are here to stay, say authors of a new study which examined contributing factors to nine months of aggressive coyote encounters that resulted in a cull of 11 coyotes in Vancouver’s largest urban park. Nathan Lewis, a UBC zoology doctoral candidate, and Dr. Sarah Benson-Amram, an associate professor in the UBC departments of zoology and forest and conservation sciences, discuss how people across North America can live in harmony with their four-legged neighbours.
