Urban Rats: how to Manage them and let Wildlife Thrive

Larry Heaney, Negaunee Curator of Mammals, Field Museum.

Rats have lived with humans for many generations.  They know us very well, and have diverse strategies that have allowed them to survive and even thrive. Human efforts to eliminate urban rats have severely impacted wildlife, and the rats are still here. What are we to do?  Larry Heaney, curator of mammals at the Field Museum, has studied rats around the world. He will share his expertise on mammals, and particularly rats. He has potential solutions to offer, and will answer your questions.
