Wolves: Soul of the Wild with Carter Niemeyer
January 27, 2014
Hosted by Eli Weiss
Both reviled and loved, our history with the wolf
is complex and emotional and the stuff of legends. Today, we have an
opportunity to learn from one of the most knowledgeable wolf biologists
around, Carter Niemeyer, author of “Wolfer” which should be prerequisite
reading for everyone involved in the back and forth of the wolf debate!
We’ll get into the politics and policies that surround wolf management
to human interaction and conflict, to public perceptions vs. those of
ranchers and the vested interests of those who want to see all wolves
dead. From our earliest history to now we continue to wage war against
the wolf, and it ‘s taken more than 100 years for science to catch up to
understand the ecological cascade of consequences in the wake of their
absence and what their presence means for our future- the wolf issue a
parable and a symbol of the very soul of wildness.
