Dominic Monaghan, star of the hit ABC series Lost, knows that you don’t have to be marooned on a tropical island to encounter wildlife. That’s why Monaghan jumped at the chance to kick off PETA’s latest wildlife campaign with a brand-new print ad shot at a California wildlife rehabilitation center. In the ad, Monaghan is pictured with a raccoon next to the tagline “Share the World”?a plea to peacefully coexist with wildlife.

In an exclusive interview on HelpingAnimals.com, Monaghan tells PETA about everything from what to anticipate this season on Lost to his thoughts on how wild animals like raccoons, squirrels, and opossums suffer from human encroachment.

“The more you get into [nature], the more you realize that it gives you back what you put into it … it’s very rewarding,” says Monaghan, who loves to go surfing and considers himself to be a bit of an expert on trees, plants, insects, and reptiles. “I have learned some of the greatest lessons in life from watching animals, from watching animals just simplistically go work out their problems.”

Every year, animals facing shrinking habitats are poisoned, trapped, shot, or beaten to death as “pests.” In addition to being horrendously cruel, America’s war on wildlife is ineffective: More animals simply move in to replace those who have left. Now PETA?with a little help from Monaghan?is offering humane and effective methods for dealing with human-wildlife conflicts at HelpingAnimals.com.
