Great Lakes Wolves
After being nearly eliminated from this region after years of human persecution, protections provided by the Endangered Species Act helped to restore wolves to the Western Great Lakes.
Today, the region holds the largest wolf population in the lower 48 states, with about 4,000 wolves roaming through portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

In the Field
Promoting co-existence between wolves and humans is important to ensure the long-term survival of wolves in the Western Great Lakes. The National Wolfwatcher Coalition supports innovative nonlethal methods to prevent conflicts between wolves and humans.
Management and Policy
Helped by the protections of the Endangered Species Act, wolves have returned to the Western Great Lakes. To ensure their long-term survival in this region, we are actively involved in the state wolf management planning process.
