Nathalie Karvonen “An institutional perspective on human-wildlife encounters in the GTA: conflicts and opportunities”

Toronto Wildlife Centre, a large wildlife rehabilitation and education centre serving the GTA, responds to up to 30,000 calls per year on their wildlife hotline and admits approximately 5,000 sick, injured, and orphaned animals. Drawing on a decade of institutional history, this presentation outlines some of the specific challenges faced by wild animals in Toronto.
