Oregon wolf population grows slightly but illegal killings still a concern
From ChronLine.com:
Oregon’s wolf population increased last year after four years of nearly flat growth, with the animals continuing to expand their habitat westward, according to a new state report. The population grew by 15% to 204 wolves, up from 178 in both 2023 and 2022, according to the annual wolf report released Friday by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The number of wolf packs – four or more wolves traveling together in the winter – also went up. A total of 25 packs were documented in 2024, up from 22 packs in 2023.
