UP CLOSE INTERACTION AND LEARNING ABOUT WOLVES

Look at them: they are so noble, so beautiful. The wolf, as well as other endangered species, are ecological indicators. It is by studying these species and learning how to preserve them that we learn the main factors affecting our environment.

Perhaps in so doing, we will learn undiscovered ways to benefit mankind! 

Unfortunately, some deny the wolf's place in the ecosystem. Wolves are gunned down from airplanes and snowmobiles (which some consider "sport"). Sometimes the fur is taken; however, more often than not, the animal is simply left to decay. 

The wolf is poisoned "en masse," trapped by leg-hold traps, used as adornments for the idle rich.

Today, the wolf's range is limited to Alaska, Canada, the upper Midwest, and Yellowstone National Park.  Some of the YNP wolves have traveled into adjoining states, which allow hunters to kill wolves on sight and for little to no reason.  In the 1930's, approximately 50,000 wolves were roaming the North American continent. By the 1940's, that number had been decreased to 1,000. Today, mostly because of conservation efforts, there are approximately 3,000 wild wolves on the entire continent. They have made a small comeback, but because of the recent delisting from the Endangered Species Act, wolves are once again under attack. 

Wolf lovers need to band together and do all we can to help them.  TIME IS RUNNING OUT!   

BUSHCRAFT

Bushcraft involves learning survival skills, how to create and build necessary items in the wilderness, and learning outdoor preparedness and culinary skills.
