On the Albemarle Peninsula in northeastern North Carolina, reintroduced red wolves are once again putting pressure on mesopredators and rebalancing the forest. The recovery area covers approximately 6.000 km² between refuges and private properties. By 2026, orange GPS collars and coyote management will support expansion beyond official boundaries.

Editor’s Note: This is the third in a three-part series exploring the impact that wolf reintroduction in the U.S. has had on livestock operations. Caution: This article includes graphic images of livestock carcasses.
Wolves are no longer a hypothetical part of the Western United States. For ranchers that are operating in recovery, reintroduction, and even zones where wolves are crossing state lines, they’re a daily management reality. As apex predators, wolves bring a new layer of risk to operations that are often already stretched thin by drought, rising input costs, and labor shortages.

Dog owners in the Netherlands are in shock after a forest in Ulvenhout, in the province of North Brabant, was suddenly declared off-limits this week.
Authorities say dogs damage nature through nitrogen emissions from their waste.
Wolves on the other hand are allowed to roam freely through all forests and, under European regulations, are regarded as virtually untouchable.

Who knew there was a connection between wolves reintroduced to Colorado and the Grateful Dead?
The Rocky Mountain Wolf Project, which spearheaded the narrow passage of Proposition 114 in 2020 to reintroduce wolves, acknowledged on Facebook the passing of Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir.
Weir died Jan. 10 at the age of 78.

The last meal eaten by a wolf cub before its demise, some 14,400 years ago, has yielded new insight into how the woolly rhinoceros disappeared from this world.
A previous analysis of the stomach contents of a cub found in the Siberian permafrost in 2011 revealed a belly full of woolly rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatis) meat close to the time of the rhino’s extinction. Now, geneticists have sequenced the rhino’s genome – and found no evidence of long-term population decline or inbreeding.

Attacks by wolves on livestock increased last year, an analysis of figures provided by monitoring organisation BIJ12 has shown.
By October 2025, the number of confirmed reports of attacks on sheep and other livestock reached 888, compared with 770 in the whole of 2024. Some 212 reports from November and December are still being investigated.
From DenverGazette.com:
As every Coloradan should be aware of, wolves were reintroduced to the state in December of 2023 and they’ve been making headlines ever since. Less discussed is the impending wolverine reintroduction, which will mean adding another long-gone predator species to the state’s landscape within a relatively short timespan assuming plans come to fruition.
While both the wolf and the wolverine had breeding populations in the Centennial State into the early 1900s, it’s been many decades since both species have interacted in Colorado, begging the question: what will happen when these two species meet?

The debate over wolves and livestock in Northern California is once again heating up as ranching groups push for expanded funding to manage the state’s growing gray wolf population.
This week, California Farm Bureau announced it has joined other agricultural and rural advocacy groups in requesting $30 million in the state’s 2026–27 budget for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wolf Program. The program is designed to reduce conflicts between wolves and livestock as the species continues to recover across California.
From WorldJournalNewspaper.com:
LAS ANIMAS – The Las Animas County Board of Commissioners opened its first regular meeting of 2026 on Jan. 6 weighing the possibility of federal control over Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program, reviewing progress on a countywide wildfire protection plan, and raising concerns about how a newly regionalized behavioral health system will serve rural residents.
From TheSacramentoBee.com:
As California’s wolf population continues to make its comeback, so does the state’s struggle to balance the needs of the endangered predator and the safety of residents. Gray wolves have been increasingly present throughout rural Northern California, injuring and killing livestock and family pets in recent months. One wolf pack alone was responsible for killing nearly 100 cows and calves in a six-month period in 2025.
