Wildlife in the city of London
 

Geese
The city of London is home to many species of wildlife. As our community continues to grow we encroach on the natural territory of many wild animals.

Many species of wildlife have learned to adapt to the changing environment surrounding them. It is no surprise that many animals are now being found in our subdivisions, parks and even in our backyards. To assist Londoners, we have provided some links of various management practices when dealing with human-wildlife conflicts.

The following fact sheets have been provided by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) , Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources, Middlesex London Health Unit and Canadian Wildlife Federation, The Humane Society of the United States, and the Backyard Habitat Program and may assist you with your human-wildlife issue.
