The Scientific Classification of Wolves: Canis lupus soupus
by L. David Mech
How many kinds of wolves are there? And what are the differences? This is a really
good question, and the answer is getting more complicated all the time.
The Wolves of Transylvania
by Alan E. Sparks
The wolves of Romania are "Eurasian Wolves," Canis lupus lupus, a subspecies which prior
to the 20th century ranged over most of the vast supercontinent, but now reduced in
extent due to human persecution and loss of habitat, especially in the West.
Wolf '06 of Lamar Canyon
by Laurie Lyman
Yellowstone National Park is a paradise for wolf watchers who get to know specific
wolves, their personalities and their relationships to other wolves. This article
details the life of one of those wolves.
by Mary Ortiz
Articles in the winter issue of International Wolf looked at controversy surrounding

of wolves as a game species.

On a Learning Adventure in Denali National Park
by Jess Edberg, information services director, International Wolf Center

visual beauty of the region coupled with being immersed in the daily ecological lessons
we experienced urged us to shed the trappings of modern society—to unplug from
technology and recharge with nature.

M. Musiani, L. Boitani, and P. C. Paquet (eds.)
by L. David Mech
Wolf populations have proliferated in several areas and so have wolf books. The latest
book is a good one. This compendium, The World of Wolves, covers a variety of fast-moving
and controversial areas such as canid genetics, effects of wolves on ecosystems, climate
change, hunting of wolves by snowmobile and non-lethal methods of minimizing livestock
depredation.
Keeping Wolves and Visitors Safe in Yellowstone
by Nathan Varley
Shortly after we passed a wide bend in the Gibbon River, I saw cars lining the sides
of the road. I pulled the bus off and announced, "This is it-what we have been waiting for."
Boreal Breakthrough
Conservation Groups and Logging Companies Agree to New Protections on 178 Million Acres
by Matt Jenkins
Canada's [b]oreal—a vast, 1.4billion-acre swath of spruce, pine and aspen-extends
from Canadian prairies north to the edge of the Arctic Circle. The forest is home to
woodland caribou and wolverines, and about a third of it is covered by wetlands that
provide crucial habitat for migratory waterfowl. It is also a huge source of timber
and pulpwood for global markets: Hundreds of millions of acres of the Canadian boreal
are leased to logging companies, which use the trees to make everything from lumber
to tissues.
