ABOUT
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources developed the Urban Wildlife Program in 2019 with the goal of increasing public awareness and knowledge about wildlife and to help reduce the number of human-wildlife conflicts.
The program collects data on human interactions with wildlife including location, species involved, and type of interaction.
Wildlife Atlanta is a group of scientists and extension specialists in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia. We utilize wildlife interaction data, combined with coyote spatial and wildlife distribution data obtained through our research, to create targeted outreach materials for residents in high-risk conflict areas of Atlanta.
