According to the Center for Biological Diversity, the gray wolf population numbers less than 8,000 individuals across the United States.

Stephen Capra writes, "Republicans can now show real leadership by silencing the Representatives who believe torture of wildlife is acceptable."

Montanans are becoming increasingly tolerant of wolves in general, but wolf hunters and trappers are some of the least tolerant in the state, according to new Montana research.

The Center for Biological Diversity sent a 60-day notice to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declaring its intent to sue if the agency doesn’t develop a national recovery plan for the gray wolf as required by the Endangered Species Act.

With the third winter “release season” in Colorado’s gray wolf reintroduction plan just weeks away, state wildlife officials are scrambling to find a source for additional relocated wolves.

After a judge denied a request to suspend Montana’s wolf season three years ago, wildlife advocates are now trying again after the Fish, Wildlife & Parks commission recently increased the wolf quota.

The photograph is part of a study, “Wolves use diverse tactics to track partially migratory prey,” that sheds new light on the evolving dynamics between ungulates and the carnivores that prey on them.

Hunters and trappers can now kill wolves until Montana’s wolf population drops to less than 458 or the season ends.

Jay Mallonee writes, "Killing 600 wolves is a really bad idea when it comes to the conservation of ecosystems."

Missoula federal district judge Donald Molloy sided with wildlife advocates on most of their charges against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its February 2024 finding that wolves in the West don’t need federal protection.
