Does the institution have programs in place to protect and/or create wildlife habitat on institution-owned land?:
A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
UB has a policy of not killing or disturbing any wildlife on campus unless there is a specific threat to the health and/or safety of the campus community. When there is such a threat, the policy is to use non-lethal means, such as catch and release, whenever possible.
Additionally, the University will provide protection and shelter for native wildlife where reasonable and practical. A recent example of this is the protection and shelter provided at the Mackay Heating Plant for a nest of peregrine falcon chicks and their family.
