Wolves in Oregon: Increasing, but breeders are dying
From ColumbiaGorgeNews.com:
Is this bad news or good news? Depends who you ask. “It’s a relief,” said Amaroq Weiss, senior wolf advocate at Portland’s Center for Biological Diversity. While Oregon saw the first noteworthy increase in its wolf population since 2019 last year, breeding pack members are dying and fewer pups being raised in eastern Oregon.
The state’s wolf population grew 15% in 2024, according to the 2024 annual Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management report.
