Guarding the guardians of the Himalaya: Protecting snow leopards and wolves also protects the mountain ecosystem.
From NepaliTimes.com:
In the icy wilderness areas of High Asia, snow leopards glide like shadows across the snows as the haunting howls of Himalayan wolves echo across the crags.
In Nepal, high mountain dwellers have forged a delicate balance with these two elusive Himalayan predators, a timeless coexistence of human livelihoods with the wild. Snow leopards inhabit steep slopes at elevations from 3,000 to 5,500m. Wolves patrol more open stretches across grasslands and mountain meadows.

Officals kill male Mexican gray wolf in Catron [New Mexico]
From DChieftain.com:
After at least seven livestock animals were killed by a wolf or wolves in central New Mexico over the last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service killed an endangered Mexican gray wolf last week.
The agency is allowed to intentionally kill the endangered wolves within the experimental population area, which straddles Arizona and New Mexico.

What a Federal Wolf Bill Could Mean for Michigan’s Pack
From TheSunTimesNews.com:
Michigan’s gray wolves are back in the political spotlight. A new bill in Congress—H.R. 845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025—would remove federal protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states. It wouldn’t stop there: the bill also aims to block any court from reviewing that decision, essentially locking it in for good.
If it passes, the fate of gray wolves in Michigan would shift squarely into the hands of the state.

The hidden costs of wolf conservation
From HCN.org:
Every summer, rancher Richard Egan grazes about 400 cattle on private and Forest Service land in northeastern California. Since 2017, the rolling grasslands and pine forest have also been home to the Lassen Pack, which has produced nine litters of pups. In 2023, the state paid Egan $5,550 to compensate him for the loss of a cow and calf to the wolves, but he says there are other, less tangible costs of operating in their territory: The stress of living with predators, for example, can cause cows to put on less weight or give birth to fewer calves.
