Evidence has shown that letting cats roam free is bad for wildlife conservation, human health, and cats themselves. Free-roaming cats hunt and kill native wild animals, especially birds, and can even transmit diseases to humans. Not to mention, outdoor cats can themselves be harmed by wild animals, cars, or disease. 

Recorded on Wednesday, September 28th from 12 – 1PM EST and brought to you by The Stewardship Centre of BC and co-hosted by Nature Canada, the Effective Stewardship Strategies for Cat and Bird Welfare: Tools to Take Action Together webinar featured expert panelists speaking about Translation Ecology to facilitate multi-stakeholder collaboration principles to help facilitate working with diverse interest groups, such as folks working directly on bird conservation issues and cat welfare.
