Little Blue Society is frequently
invited by cities, counties, homeowners associations and communities to
quickly diffuse high-profile, controversial human-animal conflicts. Our site investigations include a comprehensive written report of the findings and recommendations.
Our
Senior staff members frequently speak at wildlife management forums and
have addressed such audiences as the Northern California Woolgrowers
Association, the National Interpreters Association,the California
State Fish and Game Agency, the Federal Fish and Wildlife Services, the
United States Agricultural Department, and the World Ethics Forum,
Switzerland. We give expert testimony to governmental commissions and
advisory boards.
Part
of our mission is to steer cities and counties in the "right" direction
when it comes to wildlife management issues. We custom design
intelligent, effective programs to manage and naturally reduce the
population of invasive, non-native wildlife species. We also
design holistic livestock protection programs that also protect
wildlife and positively impacts the local ecology.
We
contract with the municipality for a brief period of time inorder to
establish the customized program and measure its effacacy, after which,
it is handed over to the proper agency to maintain.
