North American river otter habitat suitability and human–wildlife coexistence on Protection Island, British Columbia, Canada

2025-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Land use change and urban sprawl increase the likelihood of encounters between humans and wildlife. North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) coexist (and also conflict) with humans in many places, including on Protection Island, British Columbia, Canada.
