Management of Wolves in the Western Great Lakes: Is There a Middle Ground?
Where from Here? by Jim Hammill
Open Season or Open Debate? by Adrian Treves
After nearly two years of state and tribal management, a U.S District Court placed
the gray wolf once again under the full protection of the federal Endangered Species
Act (ESA) in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Although two authors take different
positions on some issues, they are agreed that a solution to the conflict over wolf
management lies in finding a middle ground.
A Wolf Plan That Works
by Bill Schneider
In July 2008, the U.S. District Court in Missoula, Montana, reinstated protection of
the Northern Rockies "distinct population segment" of gray wolves under the Endangered
Species Act. The author proposes a way to resolve this wolf controversy quickly.
A High-Yield Investment
by Cornelia Hutt
Nobody needs a reminder that big dividends are on the endangered dollars list, but the
International Wolf Center is still a high-yield investment. The current and future state
of the economy has us all punching new holes in family budget belts as we prioritize
our spending. Nonprofits that rely on the generosity of members to sustain their
missions are being scrutinized and their merits evaluated. Are we returning real value
for the dollars you invest in our work?

of three distinct age groups, each group representing a different North American
subspecies of Canis lupus,the gray wolf.
WOLVES IN MONGOLIA AND INNER MONGOLIA
Protectors of the Grasslands
by Cornelia Hutt
Interest in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia* and the culture of the Mongols, an ancient people
who have survived for millennia on the vast, isolated steppes of the region's grasslands,
has been heightened by the recent publication (2008) in English of the novel Wolf Totem.
Released in China in 2004 (sales of Wolf Totem are surpassed only by Mao's Little Red Book),
the novel recounts the experience of Chen Zhen, a young Beijing intellectual in the 1960s.
Teen Aspires to Live the Center's Mission
by Tracy O'Connell
Last fall, Hillari Vashaw of Holland, Michigan, living the mission of the International
Wolf Center, was moved to teach students in the fourth grade at her local elementary
school about wolves. Just 13 years old, the seventh-grader put together a presentation
using knowledge gleaned from activities in which she took part during a two-day visit
with her grandparents, both teachers, to the Center in Ely, Minnesota.
Going Green Helps Wolves Too
by Tracy O'Connell
Climate change, sustainability, environmental protection, ecological footprint. These
terms, once used only by those intently focused on environmental issues, are all around
us today.
