Neighborly Wildlife: Fairbanks in Focus

The Neighborly Wildlife: Fairbanks in Focus project aims to identify urban wildlife of Fairbanks. This project will be part of the Urban Wildlife Information Network (UWIN). This network connects projects in cities of varying sizes across the world with a mission to “support people and wildlife to coexist on our urbanizing planet.” Identifying wildlife that shares our spaces in Fairbanks is essential to ensuring the conservation of an ecologically sustainable urban landscape. Whether it’s the moose holding up traffic or a uniquely colored red fox hiding in the bushes, Fairbanksians have strong relationships with wildlife. The Neighborly Wildlife: Fairbanks in Focus project aims to strengthen this relationship by engaging with the community in data collection, question development, and providing information that is interesting and important to the community.
