Understanding the Reclassification Controversy
by Steve Grooms
Steve Grooms delves into a complex proposal to reclassify and delist gray wolves in much of the United States.
Gray Wolf Reintroduction in Adirondack Park
by Jay Hutchinson, Dave Mech and Paul Paquet
A recent study deals with the question: Is it possible to reintroduce the gray wolf into New York's Adirondack Park? Wolf experts debate the answer.
Preserving Corridors for all Species
by Lloyd Dorsey
Lloyd Dorsey examines wildlife corridors along state highways and finds himself eye to eye with a wolf using these century old routes.
Is aerial hunting of wolves legal in Alaska?
by Walter Medwid
Read about the fascinating sorting out of rank within our own newly expanded wolf pack.
A View From the Bottom of Wolf Pack Hierarchy
As scientific research has taught us, wolves maintain pack harmony by their rank order. The order of a pack is usually gender specific (females dominate lower ranking females, males dominate lower ranking males). At the top of the rank order is the alpha male and female (who dominate both sexes), but at the bottom is a position some scientists call the omega or "scapegoat" (dominated by all the pack members).
Wolves on Wrangel Island - Discovery Indicates Potential for Wolf Recovery
by Neil Hutt
Imagine a category called "Remote Destinations" on the television quiz program "Jeopardy". Inside one of the boxes is the answer: "This extraordinary eco-system 100 miles off the northeastern coast of Siberia contains the highest diversity of plants and animals in the entire high arctic region." Chances are, the contestants would exchange befuddled glances as the show's host intones, "The question is: What is Wrangel Island?"
Wolves in Norway - Norway Debates Wolf Management
by Neil Hutt
In 1997, nearly a century after aggressive persecution wiped out wolves in eastern Norway, a breeding pair strayed across the border from Sweden into a sparsely populated ranching valley. As the predators have made a comeback, debate between agricultural interests and conservationists has escalated.
Witnessing Ancient Survival Instincts
by Michael Nelson
It was 2:26 p.m. on August 7, 2000, and U.S. Forest Service pilot Dean Lee and I radio-located the alpha male of the Pike Lake wolf pack a mile southwest of the town of Isabella, Minnesota during a routine flight. As we spiraled down toward the radio signal, we both observed a disturbance on the surface of a small beaver pond.
Moving Right Along
by Kelly Burns, International Wolf Center Intern
Have you ever gone for a visit somewhere, then wished you could stay? Maybe you have a summer cottage you like to visit. Lots of animals travel around, too: birds fly south for the winter, monarch butterflies go to Mexico, deer gather in herds during winter, and some fish travel from inland riverways to the ocean. Can you think of more examples?
Making a Difference, Together
by Gale H. Ford, DVM, MS
Educational venues to view, interact with, and learn about wildlife occur in many settings, including zoos, preserves, refuges, rehabilitation centers, national parks and other wild lands. Urban living situations, increased job demands, different multicultural perceptions, an aging human population and changes in nuclear family structure, are but a few of the major changes drastically affecting the nature education of our young people.
