Living With Wolves

A nonprofit organization dedicated to raising broad public awareness of the truth about wolves, their social nature, and their importance to healthy ecosystems. www.livingwithwolves.org
California wildlife officials spent $1.4M trying to scare wolves away from cattle in Sierra Valley using drones, loud music, and other tactics. When attacks continued, they killed four wolves — a major shift from the state’s non-lethal policy. www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...
These endangered predators have finally returned. Should California be killing them?
California wildlife officials have tried bean bag guns, loud music and drones. Now they’re resorting to killing an endangered species.

Colorado hopes to bring in more wolves this winter—this time from Washington. Federal rules blocked imports from Canada, so the state is turning to U.S. sources to grow its pack.

🐺 Wolves speak through more than howls — they communicate across miles with sound, posture, and emotion. AI recorders in Yellowstone are now helping us truly listen and learn what their voices mean. Every howl is connection. 💚🌲

Northern Rockies gray wolves are at risk from political flip-flopping. A federal judge ordered the USFWS to revisit its decision to delist them, citing ignored scientific evidence. Aggressive hunting in MT, ID, and WY threatens decades of conservation.

Political whiplash is terrible for wolves’ future. But more is coming
After a judge lamented the “political yo-yo” process embroiling wolf management in the Northern Rockies, no one appears to know how to deescalate the debate.

One year ago, the media hyped the “birth” of dire wolves. In reality, they are just gray wolves with ~20 gene edits, not a species lost 5.7M years ago. Extinction is final. Let’s protect real wolves instead of chasing myths.

Wolves rarely pass without a shoulder rub or quick lick. Often they rest curled together, one head draped over the other’s neck, a gesture both assertive and tender.

🚨The biggest threat to endangered species isn’t poachers—it’s Congress.

DC politicians are pushing H.R. 845 & H.R. 1897 to delist wolves & gut the ESA. This is a political war on wildlife. The stakes? Extinction.
