Episode 3: Community Perspectives and Conflict over Wolves
Thursday, October 8 at 5 p.m. MT
Watch the recording and read the recap

Science and data can tell us many empirical things about wolves, including range, behavior, population size, and more. But the facts alone don’t reflect an important component of the wolf debate: passion. Wolves evoke strong reactions that are informed by our life experiences and cultural values. Often these reactions have less to do with the species itself and more to do with deep-seated tensions over the rural-urban divide, management of public lands, and human needs such as security, meaning, and freedom. Is there a possibility of finding common ground?

Panelists: Bill Fales, a rancher in Colorado’s Crystal River Valley, and Jonathan Proctor, Program Director of the Rockies and Plains Program for Defenders of Wildlife.
