General Note: |
This report is concerned with the ways in which urban humans live with, or perhaps against, urban animals, and more specifically urban wildlife. Conflicts between humans and wildlife often arise when humans take offense to an animal infringement upon what they consider to be human living space. Example conflicts include gophers tunneling under golf course greens, coyotes scavenging in compost piles, and raccoons birthing young in attics. The ways in which humans may solve these problems with "nuisance" wildlife are examined in this report. The Green Visions Plan seeks to promote harmonious coexistence amongst urban inhabitants, and the findings of this report and a subsequent one will provide background for the proposal of a set of model ordinances that reflect that goal. |
