It is indeed unfortunate(from my perch), that the majority of humans feel that coyotes (and wild animals generally) don’t really belong in our civilized domain.................The opinion holds that wild animals are an aberration, to be marveled at and then segregated off in what one government authority, after a particularly vivid pursuit, termed an “appropriate wilderness area.........The unspoken(or spoken loudly) commentary we hear is that we (Human animals) live here, you(coyotes) live over there........The great natural history writer and Professor, William Cronon sees it differently----.“We need to discover a common middle ground in which all of these things, from the city to the wilderness, can somehow be encompassed in the word ‘home".....Mark Weckel raised this idea himself when he was discussing the Gotham Coyote Project:......... “I would argue that in our particular period of time, coyotes could actually be more championed as a flagship species for urban environments"............"He pointed to the kinds of words newspapers are using to describe coyotes in New York—invade, unnatural,strange".......... “Those are things that we have to address because if all of a sudden we don’t look at these sightings as unnatural and strange, that means we begin to think of cities and ourselves as part of the larger environment"............... "Urban coyotes might represent an icon to help encourage greater ecological consciousness".
