Experts from around the world are converging on Colorado Springs to help decide the future of wolves. The International Wolf Center, in collaboration with Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, is pleased to announce the fourth international wolf conference, Frontiers of Wolf Recovery: The Southwestern U.S. and the World, Oct. 1-4 at the Antler's Hotel.
The nonprofit International Wolf Center, based in Minneapolis, Minn., holds this international symposium every five years. This is the first time the conference will be held outside Minnesota, primarily because Colorado and the Southern Rockies are now on the forefront of wolf recovery in the U.S.
Frontiers of Wolf Recovery is a landmark gathering of experts, educators and concerned citizens from more than 20 countries bringing together a collective knowledge about wolves and wolf-human coexistence. The symposium features new wolf research, an unprecedented focus on the human dimension of wolf conservation, and the candid voices of those who actually coexist with wolves. It is hoped that through fresh ideas and pioneering partnerships, scientists, ranchers, hunters and environmentalists can craft innovative wolf conservation solutions.
Registration to attend the full conference is $390. However, a special educators session has been scheduled on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cost is $150 at the door and includes lunch. On Sunday, Oct. 2, the public is invited to a 7 p.m. program with speaker Doug Smith entitled, "Decade of the Wolf: Restoring the Wild to Yellowstone." A $5 donation is requested.
Highlighting fresh ideas and pioneering partnerships, Frontiers of Wolf Recovery is the place where the innovative wolf conservation solutions of tomorrow will be forged.
