Happy New Year! And happy twenty years of Wyoming wolves!
In January 1995, wolf recovery efforts commenced with delivery of 14 wolves from Canada to Yellowstone. Patricia, the children and I got the news on sabbatical in summertime Adelaide, South Australia. We delighted in the photographs of wolves arriving in wintertime Wyoming that appeared in The Australian newspaper. Truly, Wyoming wolf restoration was news worthy of international coverage.
Our Australian hosts had so many questions for us. We told them how we and so many other Wyoming citizens had worked so hard to initiate wolf restoration. We explained that reintroduction would return the wolf to its place atop the Wyoming wilderness food chain and reestablish ecological balance in the world’s first national park. And we explained that with wolf restoration, the state of Wyoming would once again be home to every one of its native mammals.
