Wild Aware Utah
Wild Aware Utah is an education program providing Utah residents and visitors with wildlife awareness and safety information. As the human/wildlife interface expands through housing and other developments throughout Utah, rural areas are becoming more urbanized. As outdoor recreation becomes increasingly popular, there’s a rise in citizens concerned about how to be safe in these areas. As Utah continues to grow, and as humans and wildlife compete for space, the number of conflicts will increase.
The goal of the Wild Aware Utah program is to create awareness throughout Utah that will foster new attitudes towards wildlife and motivate behavior changes in people, resulting in minimizing conflicts with Utah wildlife.
