Wolves: Saving the Gray Wolf Jan 04, 2023

Do you know that nature depends on various keystone species to survive and thrive? That's right, and the wolf is one of these critical keystone creatures. By regulating prey populations, wolves enable many other plants and animals to flourish. They initiate a domino effect and support natural levels of biodiversity.

However, the wolf is in danger – at one time there were an estimated quarter of a million wolves in this country, and we now have fewer than 6,000 in the lower 48 states - so it's never been more urgent than right now to stand up and defend the mighty wolf.

Samantha Attwood, Co-Founding Member of the #RelistWolves Campaign, a coalition made up of dedicated conservationists, wildlife advocates, and scientists committed to raising public awareness about wolves and advocating to restore Gray wolves to the Endangered Species List, and Maggie Howell, Executive Director of the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York, join me to discuss wolves, what is happening to them, and why it is so important to help protect them.
