Raptors Are the Solution (RATS) educates the public about the dangers of rat and rodent poisons in the food web. We inform people about the ecological role of wild birds of prey, and work to eliminate toxic rodenticides to prevent further poisonings of wildlife, children, and pets. We envision a healthy, functioning food web in which every organism remains poison free. Rodent poisons undermine a critical piece of this system: the predator/prey relationship. RATS is a fiscally-sponsored project of Earth Island Institute, rated a Four Star Charity by Charity Navigator. We partner with environmental nonprofits, agencies, scientists, cities, and others to work toward eliminating toxic rodenticides from the food web.
