ALBANY, N.Y. (WRGB) — Should New York include wolves in their wildlife conservation plan?
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is finalizing its 10-year state Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), a blueprint designed to protect at-risk species and their habitats. But the exclusion of wolves from the plan is drawing pushback from advocates who say the state should be doing more to prioritize the species.

Dogs have come to be man’s closest companions, but their story begins in the wild. Their nearest relative, the gray wolf, still roams forests and tundras. While dogs and wolves share a common ancestor, the origins of domestic dogs are more complex than once thought.
Fossils have hinted at dog-like traits appearing more than 30,000 years ago and yet genetic studies have often pointed to a much later divergence from wolves. This puzzle was resolved by scientists who sequenced the genome of a 35,000-year-old wolf from Siberia’s Taimyr Peninsula.

The nonprofit Wood River Wolf Project will share its 2025 field season summary at The Community Library in Ketchum today, Friday, Sept. 19, from noon to 1 p.m., with a virtual option on Zoom.
“The 2025 field season represents a milestone in demonstrating that people, livestock, and wolves can successfully coexist,” the organization stated in an announcement about the event. “Through systematic field monitoring, collaboration with herders, and the application of nonlethal deterrents, the project achieved a remarkable outcome: No sheep have been lost to wolves this season to date.”

Would you do anything for love? It’s a claim that Meatloaf made quite passionately, but who among us can really say we’d walk 1,000 miles simply on the off chance of finding love? Even The Proclaimers could only last 500, but I can tell you of at least one individual: Slavc, the Eurasian wolf.
In 2011, Slavc stunned scientists when – seemingly unprompted – he decided to ditch his family and embark on a 1,600-kilometer (1,000-mile) journey through the Alps, tackling treacherous terrain and extreme weather to arrive north of Verona in Italy. It was a part of the world that hadn’t seen wolves for a century, and then, that all changed.

The Endangered Species Act listing status of wolves in Utah has changed many times due to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service findings and court rulings. This inconsistent regulatory authority has been confusing and frustrating for Utah livestock producers, hunters and wildlife managers. Although the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has repeatedly determined that wolves in the western U.S. no longer warrant listing, the species is still protected as endangered in most of Utah.

Do viral online posts show screenshots of real trail cam footage of a Chihuahua dog who “joins the wolf pack”? No, that’s not true: The dog has been digitally inserted into two different trail cam images. According to specialized detection software, much of the story of a viral article about the “scrappy stray Chihuahua” in Ely, Minnesota was written by AI.

There is an emotional debate about how to deal with wolves. The Federal Ministry of Agriculture is working on new rules to prevent livestock from being killed. Saxony is pushing for a quick decision.

Miranda do Douro, Portugal, Spt. 16, 2025 (Lusa) – The technical secretary of the Mirandese Sheep Breed said on Tuesday that the lack of food, coupled with the fires that have occurred in the border area, could be the explanation for wolf attacks in this north-eastern Transmontano territory.

Colorado wildlife officials are studying whether drones can keep gray wolves away from livestock.
Why it matters: The central tension of Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program, narrowly approved by voters and launched in late 2023, is the predator’s tendency to kill ranchers’ cattle — losses that have already cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars and triggered lethal management actions.
