Wolves, once nearly exterminated in the lower 48 States are slowly reclaiming lost habitats, including California. Wolves are both a conservation success story and a conservation challenge. As they reclaim their status as keystone species and top predators they come into conflict with ranchers and therein lies the rub. Join us for a discussion amongst wolf biologists, investigative journalists and a noted LA Times reporter to discuss a possible future in which wolves and ranchers can thrive in California and elsewhere. This story of resurgent top predators struggling to rebuild their population in a human-dominated ecosystems is a global story shared by bears, alligators, sea otters, orcas, sharks, and many other species. The “wild” and modern world can coexist.
