Knowing the relationships between natural predators and their prey can be beneficial for personal gardens and the world’s ecology, says wildlife educator Patrick Schirf.
“Starting small in your backyard is a more tangible way of helping people understand what those relationships can look like, because using pesticides and rodenticides can move up the food chain and have a drastic impact on your backyards, as well as the nature around you,” said Schirf, an ecologist and former wildlife biologist. “People don’t realize the things you do in the garden can have consequences on a larger scale.”
