Coastal Wolf Project Ideas
Why:
A species unfairly maligned and presecuted through history
Tall Tales: The big bad wolf & the three little pigs, Little Red Riding-hood, The Boy Who Cried Wolf)
Continue to be hunted for reason not relevant to them
Shy and secretive animal that will on occasion give you a glimpse into their lives
Could be at their own peril seeing they are still actively being hunted
Revered by some cultures and hunted and killed by others
Running to Assure Survival
Coastal wolves run daily marathons on their quest for food and protection of their territories
Fishing Wolves
Once used centuries ago by First Nations people, remnants of ancient fish traps are now being used by coastal wolves.
Raising Pups in an Uncertain Environment
With a traditionally high mortality rate, the pack works hard to keep the pups fed and safe.
Persecuted for Dubious Reasons
Inland Gray wolves are actively killed to protect declining caribou populations; coastal wolves are being hunted as innocent bystanders.
