Development in Ontario limiting wolves’ rangetinyurl.com/5fyjk5edA loss of habitat in southern Canada has made it more difficult for wolves to travel from the Laurentian Mountains to the Adirondack Park.If there were to ever be wolves coming back into New York, the odds of this taking place is getting worse and worse because of the habitat loss in Ontario, and … a little bit in Quebec.Those nice big patches that were in Ontario are gone, and so the dispersal distances are now almost double than they used to be. Without extensive restoration in Ontario, it’s going to be tough, or tougher anyway, for them to get down.As recently as 2000, it was easier to get to New York from Quebec. They could go maybe (12 to 19 miles) and get to a stepping stone patch, then maybe another (12 to 19 miles) to get to another stepping stone patch, then get into New York.Habitat patch areas decreased from 2000 to 2015 by 695 square miles, including by 28% in the Quebec portion, 95% in the Ontario portion and only .3% in New York.New York’s still offers opportunities for migrating animals other than a few pinch points in places such as St. Lawrence County and northern Franklin County.Extensive habitat restoration and protection” needs to happen within the Ontario and Quebec portions of the study area, road development needs to meet certain thresholds, and cross-border cooperation needs to happen to keep habitat intact.But even with restoration efforts, wolves and coyotes need better protection from hunters and trappers in New York and Canada. Several wolves discovered in New York and Northeast in recent decades have been killed by humans, including one shot by a hunter in 2021 in the northern Catskills.Gray wolves are listed as an endangered species in New York, but they resemble coyotes and can be killed mistakenly. In Canada, eastern wolves received additional protections in June when they were listed as threatened. ... See MoreSee Less

New Initiative Aims to Consider All Opinions About Wolf Managementtinyurl.com/ykaw2hbcWill you participate in the national conversation?The next zoom call is 10/9 - you need to register. wolfconversation.com/join-the-conversation/The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) pledged to develop—for the first time—a National Recovery Plan under the Endangered Species Act for gray wolves in the lower 48 states.The plan, which is scheduled to be completed by December 2025, is designed to be a roadmap for durable and sustainable wolf management. It will include contributions from what the USFWS calls a “national dialogue around how communities can live with gray wolves to include conflict prevention, long-term stability, and community security.”To facilitate that dialogue, the Interior Department last year hired mediator Francine Madden, founder of the Center for Conservation Peacebuilding, to convene a three-year process to essentially talk out all the tensions, frictions, mistrust and mythology that surround wolves and wolf management. The assignment is formally called “The People’s Process: A National Conversation about Thriving Communities, Tribes, Conservationists, Working Landscapes and Wolves.” ... See MoreSee Less
