ZOOM Lecture: Rat Poison Is Wildlife Poison
Friends of the Arcata Marsh is sponsoring a ZOOM presentation by HSU Master’s candidate Jaime Carlino entitled “Rat Poison Is Wildlife Poison.” Rodenticide use is pervasive world-wide and its costs to rodent-consuming wildlife species, as well as pets and children, are high. Jaime, who is studying Barn Owls in Napa vineyards, is a founder of the local chapter of RATS (Raptors Are The Solution), a nonprofit organization working with NGOs, agencies, scientists, municipalities, and individuals to eliminate toxic rodenticides from the food web and educate the public about the harmful effects of widespread use of these poisons and the ecological role of rodent-consuming wildlife species such as raptors. Hatching HUM-RATS in 2019 was inspired by Jaime’s passion for raptors and her desire to effect positive change for wildlife in and beyond Humboldt County. Jaime will start with a brief overview of rodenticides and their effects on a variety of nontarget species, then describe what RATS and HUM-RATS are doing to address this issue, and provide information about how to manage rodent issues without using poisons. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. This talk will be recorded and posted online for future viewing. Those wishing to receive an email notification announcing when any FOAM-sponsored Zoom presentations are posted should send a request to sueleskiw1@gmail.com. (FOAM members, volunteers, and attendees of past lectures will automatically receive such notification.)
