The Miistakis Institute, an Environmental Design affiliated research institute, was recently featured on Ward9TV with Alderman Gian-Carlos Carra. Discussing the Living with Coyotes Program, a joint initiative between the Miistakis Institute and the Department of Geography, the Institute has developed a monitoring system to track the movement of coyotes here in Calgary.
The Living with Coyotes Program enables citizens to go online and enter their coyotes observations within the city. These individual observations will contribute to a larger dataset of coyote sightings and behavior, which in turn contribute to a larger research initiative around coyote populations within the city limits.
