Living with Wolves

We are excited to announce the opening of the Living with Wolves Museum in Ketchum ID, where wolf behavior & biology come to life through images of the Sawtooth Pack. The museum is now open and our hours of operation are Tuesday - Saturday, 11am-4pm. livingwithwolves.org/our-museum/

Living with Wolves has made the decision to transition away from X (formerly known as Twitter). You can find us on Facebook and Instagram. Please follow us on our NEW BlueSky account bsky.app/profile/living…

Colorado Parks and Wildlife released 15 gray wolves from British Columbia, and five of the Copper Creek pack wolves initially released in 2023, in Pitkin and Eagle counties on Jan. 12, 15 and 18. aspendailynews.com/news/wolves-re…

Wolves don’t “breed like rabbits” as so many anti-wolf critics often claim. They have puppies just once per year in the spring. This is a well-known and verifiable fact.

As we step into 2025, let’s carry hope and determination for the future of wolves — a keystone species vital to the health of our ecosystems. While their resilience is inspiring, their survival depends on our actions now more than ever. livingwithwolves.org

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has approved a “wolf management plan” that will slash the state’s wolf population by nearly two-thirds over the next several years. amp.idahostatesman.com/outdoors/artic…

Carter Niemeyer, a @LWWolves advisory board member, examined photos of dead cows obtained by the @HumaneSociety in an open records request & has concluded that wolves are not to blame for the deaths of cattle whose bodies were found near Meeker, Colorado. humanesociety.org/news/wolf-expe…

What happens to the pack when a wolf dies? When people kill wolves, packs become less stable and can cease to exist. Read the groundbreaking research by Kira Cassidy et al. in the February issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…

Happy Howlidays from all of us at Living with Wolves!

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has released its initial wolf recovery plan. The commission will take public comments on the preliminary plan in January and February, with a vote on the final plan in early May. coloradoan.com/story/news/202…

Last month, Colorado Parks and Wildlife started investigating the possibility that wolves were responsible for killing cattle in NW Colorado. No investigative efforts turned up any evidence of wolves in the area.  cpr.org/2022/11/17/col…

A Montana judge has temporarily restricted wolf hunting and trapping near Yellowstone and Glacier national parks and imposed tighter statewide limits on killing the essential predators. apnews.com/article/travel…

The lawsuit alleges that the state legislature has adopted aggressive wolf management rules based on faulty science and asks Judge Michael McMahon to suspend the hunting rules and update a 2002 management plan that hasn’t been modified since. dailymontanan.com/2022/10/31/gro…

Wolves are not only essential to ecosystems, they boost local economies. A new study shows that, in the three bordering states of Yellowstone National Park, annual spending by people coming to see wolves has increased from $35.5 million in 2005 to $82.7 million in 2021.

In a new statewide survey of 1,500 likely Colorado voters, nearly two-thirds said they believed that Colorado’s gray wolves should not be trophy hunted or trapped.This included majorities across all political affiliations and geographic areas.” humanesociety.org/news/new-color…
