The purpose of the grant is to help mitigate the impact of wolves on livestock producers in California. The Wolf-Livestock Compensation Grant Program has established three primary areas of need and compensation; direct livestock loss from wolf depredation, the use nonlethal deterrent tools, and the compensation for indirect loss or affects from wolves on livestock.

In May, Durham’s Museum of Life and Science marked a major conservation milestone when seven-year-old female red wolf Martha welcomed a litter of three male pups. A thorough examination by the museum’s Animal Care Team and veterinary staff determined that Martha and her pups are doing well.
Martha and breeding partner Oka were identified as a valuable match to maintain genetic diversity in the red wolf population in the summer of 2023. Martha (born 2018) and Oka (born 2014) arrived at the museum in October 2024.

In Brandenburg, environmental organizations are firmly opposing the potential introduction of a quota for wolf culling. The nature conservation groups Nabu and BUND have issued a joint statement criticizing the state’s agriculture ministry for disregarding scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of such measures.

Asha, a wayfaring Mexican gray wolf who was captured twice in Northern New Mexico and returned to the subspecies’ restricted experimental population area south of Interstate 40, recently set her sights on a new horizon: motherhood.
The endangered wolf, officially known as F2754, gave birth to her first litter of five pups May 8 in captivity at the Sevilleta Wolf Management Facility near Socorro, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced.

Nearly two hundred organizations and thousands of citizens marched through downtown Madrid demanding the reinstatement of special protected status for the Iberian wolf, removed by Spanish Congress on March 20.
From High Country News.org:
The hysteria around gray wolves across the United States, and Mexican wolves in particular, needs to be addressed urgently. First, the wolf named Ella was found murdered on ancestral Hopi lands, near Mount Taylor. A few weeks later, a collared wolf, Asiza, likely pregnant, was “mistakenly” murdered by Arizona Fish and Game in Greenlee County, also ancestral Hopi lands.
It is my hope that by offering a perspective that predates the institutions “managing” these wild creatures, perhaps some rational thinking and conversation can occur.
From Britannica.com:
There’s nothing quite so interesting as the social interactions in the wolf pack. Wolves live in packs of about 6 to 10 members. Pack formation is possible because wolves are highly social creatures that develop strong bonds with one another.

(Missoula Current) After an earlier Supreme Court ruling negated “Chevron deference,” a federal district judge is trying to work out whether he can decide the definition of “range” for wolves of the West or whether he must accept an agency’s restricted definition.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
