PROMOTING WILDLIFE CONSERVATION THROUGH POSITIVE EXPERIENCES.
|
There are many studies on how an experience with an ambassador animal can change the perspective of those who meet them.
Ohio Canid Center's goal is to educate the public not only on wolves and their importance in the ecosystem; but also to bring a better understanding for other wild canine species. Isn't it strange that we love our domestic dog, but fear the wolf, hate the coyote, or see the fox as a nuisance? If we understand something better, then we can more easily learn to appreciate and coexist with it. This is the main role of the ambassador animals; who win the hearts of program attendees simply by being there. These are moments that stick with the viewer for the rest of their lives, and in turn help inspire a change in the way everyone views wildlife. |
