Our Wild World

As our human communities develop and encourage green spaces and living alongside and in nature and natural landscapes, we now often find ourselves face to face with our wild neighbors who have taken a liking to our homes. As much as wildlife and the natural environment are important to our psyche and well being, our wild neighbors also find our communities fulfill their needs very nicely. That’s also where the conflicts can arise- the raccoon whose made its nursery in our chimneys or the deer who find our lawns and parks quite yummy. Dr. John Hadidian is the Director of the Humane Society of the U.S. Urban Wildlife and conflict resolution project. Join us today as John helps us to see the world from our wild neighbors perspective, and how we can learn to co-exist with our wild neighbors toward more holistic landscapes.
