The life story of the young gray wolf was better known than most for the last year, especially to scientists and members of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.
But through a combination of modern technology, the tribe’s willingness to share information and the animal’s remarkable journey, in recent days the female wolf called EV400 is becoming famous beyond wildlife circles.

As apex predators and a keystone species, wolves are the only thing standing between a healthy ecosystem and catastrophic disruptions in many regions. But the presence of wolves is not welcomed by all. In addition to keeping the populations of other animals in check, they can also cause damage in nearby communities where they are known to kill livestock and occasionally even harm humans. Can’t we all just get along?
Left to our own devices, probably not. With the help of some cutting-edge technology, however, our complex interrelationship is looking a whole lot brighter. Grizzly Systems, a company based in Montana, has developed a tiny artificial intelligence (AI)-powered device called a GrizCam. These GrizCams, roughly the size of a cell phone, can be deployed in the wilderness where they can monitor the locations of animal populations of interest — such as wolves — to assist in shaping conservation practices, and also to serve as a deterrent when a wild animal strays too close to humans.

On Sept. 27, Club 20, along with Middle Park Stockgrowers, Colorado Wool Growers Association, Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, Colorado Farm Bureau, and 26 other groups sent a Citizen Petition for Rulemaking to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission. They asked CPW to adopt a rule, “that delays the further introduction of gray wolves in Colorado until Colorado’s wolf management program is equipped to handle the consequences of these introductions.”
In the letter dated Oct. 31, 2024, Director Davis says a definition of chronic depredation is expected this month (November 2024). He also says pausing wolf reintroduction would not be consistent with Proposition 114.

DENVER — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) biologists announced Sunday that they have observed the GPS locations of a collared gray wolf south of Interstate 70 for the first time.
CPW said this movement was anticipated as the reintroduced animals — needing food, large wild landscapes, and space from humans — explore the state.

Gray wolves are once again losing federal protections as the Biden administration starts to reinstate a rule lifting them from the Endangered Species Act.
In September, as reported by the Associated Press, the administration filed an appeal to bring back a Donald Trump-era law that stopped the protection of gray wolves. This law, if reinstated, would give states the ability to control their own wolf population and likely allow for more hunting.

Hubballi: Researchers from Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) have made a groundbreaking discovery by documenting the presence of wolf-dog hybrids in the grasslands of Karnataka for the first time. This finding has sparked concerns among conservationists, with one researcher warning of “unimaginable consequences in the future.”

UC Berkeley’s Rausser College of Natural Resources has established a partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to monitor gray wolves that have come back to California and Tulare County through the California Wolf Project, CAWP.
The program which is also supported by National Geographic Society brings together scientists, wildlife managers, and conservation communicators working with diverse stakeholders in an effort to better understand the social and ecological factors that shape wolf populations. The program will help provide information for making management decisions when it comes to gray wolves.

Since wolves returned to Germany 20 years ago, they have spread quickly in many parts of the country. The rapid increase in the number of wolves was due to high survival and reproduction rates in areas with favourable environmental conditions. This is the result of an analysis carried out by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) in collaboration with the LUPUS Institute, the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN), and the Senckenberg Center for Wildlife Genetics. The probability of survival for wolves during the period analysed was higher than anywhere else in the world.

The launch of the California Wolf Project (CAWP) within UC Berkeley’s Rausser College of Natural Resources establishes a long-term partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to advance the science and management of gray wolves (Canis lupus) in California.

After more than 100 years, one of California’s most legendary predators is making an exciting comeback. Known for its elusive nature and critical role in the ecosystem, the gray wolf thrived across North America until the early 20th century, when it was almost driven to extinction due to hunting and habitat loss.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
