Overview

• Trevor Williams founded The Fox Project nearly 35 years ago to shift urban fox protection from hunting campaigns to rescue and rehabilitation efforts
• Cub orphans recover in group enclosures before rural release and adults are returned to their original neighborhoods following rehabilitation
• Recent interventions have included a cub with a severe puncture wound and an adult fox that could not be saved despite treatment
• London’s roughly 15,000 red foxes face urban threats such as vehicle collisions, entanglement in sports nets and parasitic infections
• A 2016 University of Brighton study found rehabilitated foxes often wander farther from release sites, highlighting the need for enhanced post-release monitoring
