It's a new chapter for wildlife coexistence in California!
When Senator Catherine Blakespear visited the California Wolf Center in May, we had the opportunity to talk with her about SB 1135, the California Wildlife Coexistence Act, and what it could mean for the future of wildlife in our state.
This week, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 1135 into law.
The new law establishes a statewide Wildlife Coexistence Program designed to help reduce conflicts between people and wildlife through proactive, nonlethal approaches. It also continues California’s wolf-livestock compensation program and supports the use of nonlethal deterrents to help address conflicts involving wolves and livestock.
For us, this is about much more than a new law.
It reflects something we have believed in for decades: California’s future depends on finding ways for people, livestock, and wildlife to thrive together.
At the California Wolf Center, wolves are at the heart of our work. But our vision has always been bigger than one species. Healthy ecosystems depend on the presence of native predators, and learning how to coexist with them is an important part of California’s future. That is why we were so pleased to see the California Wildlife Coexistence Act become law.
At a time when many people are understandably wondering what the future holds for wolves and other wildlife, it is encouraging to see California continuing to advance practical, science-based approaches to coexistence. Together, we make a difference.
A future where wolves and people share a healthy ecosystem is possible. And yesterday, California took another step towards that future.
