From The Revelator.org:
These howling good books examine how we’ve persecuted wolves, how we’ve helped to restore them, and how they embody humanity’s relationship with nature.
Wolves are one of the defining wildlife species of the 21st century — if not every century — of human existence. Relentlessly persecuted, uniquely inspirational, and endlessly adaptive, wolves embody our relationship with nature: We love it, we fear it; we worship it, we denigrate it; we depend on it; we destroy it.
It’s no wonder so many authors in recent years have turned to wolves to examine the biggest issues of the day.

From Newsweek.com:
A female gray wolf traveled in watersheds—alongside natural water sources such as rivers and streams—in Chaffee, Park and Fremont counties in January, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s monthly tracking map, released on Wednesday.
This is further southeast than any of the state’s collared wolves have ventured, The Denver Post reported. All other wolves seemingly remained in and around Summit, Grand, Jackson, Routt and Garfield counties.

Anderson: Wolves more likely to be delisted under Trump, but whether deer numbers increase is uncertain
From The Minnesota Star Tribune:
President Donald Trump didn’t mention wolves in his inauguration speech on Monday. But that doesn’t mean change isn’t coming in the way these apex predators are managed.
With the help of the Republican-controlled Congress, such a change is possible, if not probable. Whether deer numbers in northern Minnesota increase as a result, addressing the frustrations of whitetail hunters in that part of the state, is another question.

Czechia growls at Slovakia in wolf hunting row
From Euractiv.com:
Slovakia’s decision to reintroduce wolf hunting has outraged Czechia, who fear it could endanger the wolf population of the Beskid Mountains, which stretches from Czechia to Slovakia, as well as violate EU rules.
Wolves are still protected in Czechia and are also covered by the EU’s Habitats Directive. Czechia included them on its national list of protected species under the directive, which is not the case in Slovakia, meaning any wolves straying across the border are at risk of being killed.

The truth about British Columbia’s wolves
From AspenDailyNews.com:
The article on wolves by M. John Fayhee (“The howling: Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program off to a rocky start,” Jan. 19, Aspen Daily News) points out the frustration with Colorado’s wolf translocation program. This frustration is understandable, and I empathize with rural residents and Indigenous communities in the state. Even from the outside, it’s clear that voting on wildlife management via ballot proposals is not beneficial for people or wildlife.
However, there are several inaccuracies in this article about British Columbia, its wolves, and the province’s caribou that need clarification.

Female wolf confirmed in Luxembourg: predator behind sheep deaths identified
From RTL TODAY:
In December, two sheep were found dead in a meadow in the Dahl region, killed by a predator. The Nature and Forest Agency (ANF) has now confirmed that the predator was a wolf.
At the end of December, the ANF issued a press release stating that, based on an initial assessment, a wolf could not be ruled out as the culprit. To confirm the predator’s identity, samples were taken from bite marks on one of the sheep in hopes of extracting sufficient saliva containing usable DNA.
