Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I wanted to let you know about a wonderful new film that “explores the complexity, conflicts, and richness of the fertile interface between urban life and wild nature” with a focus on coyotes. While the film focuses on coyotes re-colonizing San Francisco and “how we can coexist safely with this resilient top carnivore,” it also addresses national coyote ecology issues and includes interviews with a number of coyote experts including Dr. Stanley Gehrt, lead researcher behind a long-term coyote study in the Chicago metropolitan region. The film also covers general urban ecology issues and an innovative non-lethal livestock and predator protection program developed in Marin County, California.

For more information about the film or to purchase DVDs, contact the film’s director, Melissa Peabody, at 415.533.0349, or mpeabody@pacbell.net.
