Here's a selection of the images that earned accolades.
COYOTE IMAGES FULL
The organization posted the full list of winners, including celebrity judges' picks and all of the honorable mentions. "To witness, let alone capture, such stunning images in nature is a feat more difficult to achieve than most will ever understand," contest judge Coyote Peterson, host of YouTube’s Brave Wilderness, said in the statement. They also accepted entries in the landscape, people and nature, water, plants and fungi, and wildlife categories. This year, the nonprofit's photo contest included a climate category for the first time, asking photographers to submit images that capture the impact of human-caused climate change across Earth's communities and ecosystems, as well as images that show hope for the future. The images are meant to be a reminder, not just of the beauty of nature, but of humanity's influence on it. "We are left with a profound message of how interconnected all of us are and what it means to our own survival to intermingle with wildness." "The diversity of images from around the world gave a glimpse into our fragile planet and all the life that inhabits it," said judge and conservation photographer Ami Vitale in a statement. In this year's competition, photographers from 196 countries and territories put more than 100,000 entries in front of a panel of judges.

Never run from a coyote (or stray dog).īe mindful that coyotes that have never experienced humane hazing may not immediately respond.
Maintain eye contact and continue to be loud and assertive. throwing items that are available to you such are sticks or rocks, in the direction of (not at) the coyote.a can of marbles or coin that can be shaken to create a loud, unfamiliar sound.a garbage bag that can be “snapped” in the air to produce a loud sound and something that is visibly unfamiliar to coyotes.an umbrella that can be “popped” open and closed.
Carry a noise maker to scare off the coyote. Shout “Go Away!”, stomp your feet, clap your hands. Surprise gestures work best.īE LOUD AND ASSERTIVE. Stand tall, wave your arms above your head. It provides a false trust that it's ok to approach, come closer, hang around a parking lot or public space, grab at a bag, hand, etc. * food/human conditioning increases a coyote's proximity to people because of the food reward. Hazing, when done correctly, can help correct unwanted coyote behaviour such as approaching people, which is often associated with food conditioning. Hazing can assist in establishing and maintaining healthy, respectful, and safe boundaries between people and wildlife. Hazing, also known as aversion conditioning, is an effective method used to encourage coyotes to move away and can assist in restoring their natural fear of humans. It provides the town and residents with useful information on understanding where the possibility of encountering a coyote may be more prevalent. This mapping reflects reported sightings and is not meant to indicate the number of coyotes present or a complete profile of where coyotes are present in Oakville.

Mange is not a threat to humans or pets and does not directly lead to increased aggression.
Mange is circulating in some coyote populations in Oakville which has led to these animals frequenting residential neighbourhoods to seek warmth and find easy food such as birdseed and garbage. If there is an immediate risk to safety call 911 as the reporting system is not designed to respond to these types of calls. The form is now compatible with mobile devices and allows users to upload pictures and video of sightings and post to social media.
