Wildlife Conflict: Submissions Needed

Alright folks, before I get too ahead of myself, I want everyone to know where this is headed a bit more.

This blog eventually will hold a series of wildlife conflict solutions - complete with stories by people like you that tried out the solution and have feedback to give.





So, with that being said - please reply to this post with any wildlife conflict posts you want to see

OR

that you could add to already with your own wildlife conflict solution!

I'll be adding a more formal form and review/editing process later, but since already a dozen people have seen the blog in the first hour I thought I'd make sure you knew how you will play a role.

And so it begins!

I've never been very good at starting things that didn't already have an ending in my mind.  Dinner experimentation always had some flavor in mind when starting.  A walk always would have a path in general that would lead me somewhere, or back home.

This blog however doesn't have an ending in mind per se.


This is the Wildlife Negotiator blog.  This is where you and I will learn to "negotiate" with wildlife all around us.  In our backyards, our gardens, our basements, our campsites, and even our kitchens.  Wildlife is all around us, and across this planet wildlife is losing a battle they didn't even know they were in.

 Wildlife conflict is rarely a real fight.  Humans are so technologically advanced that no animals or plants on earth can hope to survive if humans find them to be a "nuisance" or "dangerous". 

I use those quotations because I don't feel this way about wildlife, instead I sometimes find some species to be an "inconvenience" to my lifestyle.

So, here you'll find a way to negotiate with wildlife that may inconvenience you in someway.

And hopefully, one person, one yard, and one community at a time, we'll change the world.
