| Description: | Raptors Are the Solution (RATS) educates people about the ecological role of birds of prey in urban and wild areas and about the danger they face from the widespread use of rat poison. RATS is a fiscally-sponsored project of Earth Island Institute, rated a Four Star Charity by Charity Navigator. RATS raises all of our own funds through grants and donations. We partner with other nonprofits, agencies, scientists, cities, and others to work toward eliminating toxic rodenticides from the food web. Our goal is to see all anticoagulant and other poisonous rodenticides taken off the market and no longer used by pest control companies due to their dangers to children, pets, and wildlife. Much of our work involves public education campaigns, including on public transit and freeway billboards. In 2018 we continue to work toward a statewide ban on rodenticides in California. |
| Mission: | Our mission is to eradicate toxic rodenticides from the food chain in order to make the ecosystem safer for wildlife, kids and pets. We are committed to protecting our beneficial predators and working to educate residents and business owners about non-toxic alternatives to rat poisons. |
