Is coexistence with wolves possible? The Endangered Wolf Center welcomed Karin Vardaman of Working Circle to address this important question.
Working Circle is a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring wolves, livestock, and people can successfully coexist and thrive on shared landscapes long-term.
By digging deeper and recognizing the root causes of both the social and biological challenges of wolf-livestock coexistence, we now can advance a better way forward for wolves through newer long-term and sustainable approaches and practices that can finally create a lasting environment for wolves, livestock, and people to successfully coexist and thrive on shared lands.
