Resources for Prairie Dog Relocation
At least a few times each year, we get phone calls here at the office from people looking for a humane way to relocate prairie dogs from a site that is about to be developed, or a site where they are otherwise going to be removed by poisoning or shooting. Our friends at the Prairie Dog Coalition maintain a very useful list of prairie dog relocators, and we usually direct callers there. The list is organized by state (AZ, CO, KS, NM, MT, ND/SD, NE, TX, WY, UT) and only includes relocators known to practice "humane, live, wild-to-wild relocations."
Center for Native Ecosystems
Our mission, simply put, is to save endangered species across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. We play an "urgent care" role for the imperiled plants and wildlife most at risk of extinction, buying some time to figure out the long term solutions. We also work hard to recover these species, restoring them and their habitats to health. And we blog because doing so gives us a great way of keeping folks a little more plugged in to what's happening in the world of endangered species advocacy, offering some insight into what we do and how we do it, and fostering conversation among our supporters, our staff, and others.
