Over the past year, the SAFE Mexican Wolf program has worked to expand its reach to support successful Mexican wolf recovery. Established in 2023, the bi-national recovery program has worked with communities in both the United States and Mexico to support the species and, to date, has been instrumental in its reintroduction.

One day in the early 20th century, in eastern Arizona, a forester—“full of trigger itch,” as he later wrote—leaned over a rimrock ledge, readied his rifle, and shot a wolf. This was hardly unusual: Wolves and other carnivores were mammalia non grata, persecuted for their perceived crimes against livestock and deer.
“In those days, we had never heard of passing up a chance to kill a wolf,” the forester, Aldo Leopold, would recall decades later. More surprising was what followed: remorse.

In the past, higher temperatures appear to have pushed wolves toward harder foods. That finding could point to major changes ahead for ecosystems where wolves play a dominant role. As temperatures rise around the world, wolf diets may already be changing.

According to the foundation, experts have identified a total of 350 wolves. A pack established itself for the first time in the canton of Obwalden, while another pack was created in the canton of Neuchâtel.
The researchers also found some special evidence. In the canton of Bern, they identified a pregnant female wolf as the first female from the Central European population to be registered in Switzerland. According to the report, the majority of Swiss wolves still originate from the Alpine population.

Washington will permit the killing of a single gray wolf in the state’s northeastern corner following three suspected attacks on livestock.
The incidents took place in the Aladdin Valley, a forested rural area northeast of Colville in Stevens County. On Sunday, May 17, authorities investigated one calf that was killed and another that was injured. The next day, they examined another injured calf. The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife said the injuries were consistent with a wolf attack.

KETCHUM, Idaho, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Conservation advocates warn that expanding anti-wolf legislation and wildlife policy rollbacks across the American West could undermine decades of Gray Wolf recovery and broader ecosystem conservation efforts.
Recent actions in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have expanded wolf hunting and trapping while proposed federal changes could weaken protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Advocates say these combined actions threaten long-term wildlife recovery throughout the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest.

LANSING, MI — A Republican proposal to give the Upper Peninsula its own wildlife rulemaking body ran into opposition from Michigan officials and tribal interests, who say the plan could splinter state hunting and fishing policy and open a new path to hunting wolves.
The package, House Bills 4783 to 4786, would create a new U.P. Natural Resources Commission with authority over game and sport-fishing rules that affect only the U.P. or have no significant impact outside it.

The most recent Collard Gray Wolf Activity Map from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) shows gray wolves are traveling through most of Gunnison County. The recently published May map documents activity from April 21 through May 26, highlighting collared wolves presence by watershed.
Along with issuing the most up to date map, CPW biologists continue to monitor wolves for the formation of new packs along with indications of successful reproduction following the denning season.

It was midnight when Jesse Lasater and Max Morton heard the wolf howling behind them. It was a lonely sound, deep and mournful, and it carried through the pines. The men whirled, and Morton touched his shotgun. For a moment, they stood there in the heavy silence, listening.
This wolf was one of at least two that had been slowly closing in on a local rancher’s herd of cattle over the past few days. Now, only 100 yards separated predator from prey.

An investigation is underway after two zookeepers were injured in an attack by wolves inside an enclosure on Wednesday morning.
The attack required firefighters to rescue one of the zookeepers, who were attending to a wolf who had died overnight when the incident occurred.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
