Many wildlife species take advantage of the urban environment. Depending on individual perspectives and the species involved, urban wildlife can provide residents either tremendous enjoyment or incredible frustration, sometimes both! Urban wildlife is a very difficult issue to manage due to the characteristics of the environment, diversity of resident attitudes and adaptability of many of the species involved. Strategies must attempt to maintain wildlife as a valuable part of the urban experience while minimizing the economic and social costs incurred. This presentation will explore some of these balancing acts.
