<\/strong>This is a rough video of Holly Hertel (and some helpers) getting a wild wolf from her study pack out of one of her traps and then radio-collaring, marking, and taking measurements (circa 1983).<\/p>\n

\"wolfRiverChange\"How Wolves Change Rivers (video)<\/strong><\/a>
This is a beautifully done documentary and has a lot of science invoked, but, of course, ecosystems aren’t quite so simple as this suggests. So, I suggest you watch and then read this illuminating article<\/a> about what many of the scientists involved have to say now that wolves have been in Yellowstone for over 27 years.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Southwestern Oregon has quite recently become populated with wolves. We now have an official wolf pack that began with our famous OR-7, who first came into this area around 2011 as the only known wolf in several decades. He was about to be decommissioned as a wolf-of-interest, that is he was thought to be a lone wolf and wouldn’t give researchers any more exciting findings, when he mated with a female wolf and puppies were discovered a few months later. Before the excitement of this announcement died down, we learned that two more adult wolves were in a nearby area and became our second official pack. But we will have to wait until summer for the patter of little puppy feet.<\/p>\n

From 1995 to 1997, 41 wild wolves from Canada and northwest Montana were released in Yellowstone. As expected, wolves from the growing population dispersed to establish territories outside the park, where they are less protected from human-caused mortalities. The park helps ensure the species long-term viability in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) and has provided a place for research on how wolves may affect many aspects of the ecosystem. January 12, 2020, marked the 25th anniversary since wolves returned to Yellowstone.<\/p>\n

This center was developed after my wolf study ended, but is in the same area near Ely, Minnesota. It\u2019s a wonderful place with live captive wolves to visit, loads of information, and advocacy programs to protect wolves. The center was developed by my research adviser, world-renowned wolf researcher Dr. L. David Mech.<\/p>\n

This wonderful place is close to where I live now in southern Oregon. They usually have a small captive wolf pack in an area that gives them enough hiding places to feel comfortable. The rehabilitation work is so necessary. Animals that can\u2019t be returned to the wild are used for education in this setting.<\/p>\n

Dave Mech was integral to my story. He made it possible for me to study wolves and taught me much. He has done a lot for wolves through his decades-long wolf research in northeastern Minnesota, observations of a Canadian wolf pack in the arctic, advisory work for the Yellowstone Park wolf reintroduction, wolf conservation work through the World Wildlife Fund, and authoring many books about wolves. He feels that wolf populations can survive a hunting season, and believes it would actually help the wolf\u2019s image with wolf haters. I disagree.<\/p>\n
