The Return of the Wolf to Idaho: A Cultural Triumph
by Marcie Carter
A wildlife biologist and member of the Nez Perce Tribe describes her first encounter with wolves and what they mean to the tribe.
Should the Wolf Be Delisted?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to "delist" the gray wolf, or remove it from the endangered species list, except in the Southwest. Delisting would end federal protection for wolves in the delisted areas and return wolf management to individual states. Two articles by veterans of the debate on how best to enhance recovery of wolf populations present opposing viewpoints on this important issue.

- Wolves Are Still in Need of Federal Protection

From Fourteen: A Beginning
by David R. Rabon Jr.
By 1980, the red wolf was declared extinct in the wild. Today the red wolf is reproducing and surviving, made possible by the efforts of dedicated professionals and the last 14 red wolves known to exist.
In the Wake of Hurricane Isabel: The Red Wolves of Eastern North Carolina
by Neil Hutt
Zeus, the most filmed and photographed wolf in the Red Wolf Recovery Program, died when a tree uprooted during Hurricane Isabel destroyed his den box. But public outreach and education will continue as biologists and others work to ensure the long-term survival of red wolves.
Who published the first scientific article about wolves in North America?
To Delist or Not
by Walter Medwid
Like the swing of a pendulum, our relationship with wolves is never at one point in the arc. Under national policy, we have gone from "shoot em all" to the strict protections under the federal Endangered Species Act. The point of the arc will change once again with the federal proposal to delist most gray wolves.
It's Time for Pups Again . . .
by Lori Schmidt, Wolf Curator, International Wolf Center
It seems like just yesterday that Center staff, members, visitors and nannies were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Shadow and Malik, arctic wolf pups who were about to add a little life to our aging wolf exhibit—and add a little life they did.
Wolves in Ethiopia - Another Setback for the Imperiled Ethiopian Wolf
by Neil Hutt
In August 2003, a thin, weak female wolf, thought to be a disperser, was sighted in the Web Valley of the Bale Mountains, home to 300 of the critically endangered Ethiopian wolves. Suspicion that the wolf may have been sick arose when four wolf deaths were reported on October 9, 2003.
Wolves in Scotland - A Howl in the Highlands: A British Yellowstone?
by Neil Hutt
Attention all fans of bagpipes and castles and monsters lurking in the depths of Loch Ness! If wealthy Dutch businessman Paul van Vlissingen has his way, Nessie may have to settle for second billing as Scotland's number one wildlife attraction. Van Vlissingen wants to reintroduce wolves, extinct for 250 years, to the Highland heaths where foxes and a burgeoning population of deer roam the timeless landscape.
Echoes from Thunder Hollow
by Gary Johnson
The encounter occurred during a lull in the grouse hunting season. I was hunting near Walker, Minnesota. The rich colors of autumn had disappeared. The nonresident hunters had ceased showing up in the grouse woods. It was late October, when woodcock are no longer in season and the whitetailed deer rut dominates the woods.
Getting Along with the Neighbors: How Wolves Interact with Non-prey
by Jay Hutchinson
Wherever wolves roam, they are usually not far from many other types of meat eaters. The carnivores most often observed competing with wolves are brown (grizzly) bears, black bears and coyotes. To a lesser degree, wolves also contend with a host of other potential competitors—polar bears, cougars, tigers, lynxes, bobcats, wolverines, red and arctic foxes and even ravens.
Help Us Welcome Our Pups
Have you heard? The International Wolf Center is expecting puppies! Three newborn pups will arrive in Ely sometime in May. We hope you'll help us welcome the new little ones with a special "Hello!" by entering our coloring contest.
Global Voices for Wolf Conservation
by Steve Wadlow
Spanning many countries across the globe, wolf conservation is a diverse issue and, perhaps more fitting, one of great complexity. Wherever wolves are present, they affect people, often in profound ways.
