flag California lists mountain lions as threatened and proposes limiting coyote killings in cities to protect wildlife and promote coexistence.

flag Coyotes are increasingly entering residential areas in Ventura County due to habitat loss and food sources like pet food and trash, prompting state action. flag In February 2026, California’s Fish and Game Commission unanimously listed mountain lions in Southern California and the Central Coast as threatened, triggering protections for their habitats and corridors. flag The commission also advanced a proposal to restrict killing coyotes in urban areas, promoting non-lethal management and targeted removal only when safety or property damage is confirmed. flag The rule change is pending public hearings in April, with opposition from ranchers who fear increased livestock losses. flag The shift reflects a broader effort to balance urban development, conservation, and human-wildlife coexistence.
