Raincoast submits comments on Province’s Wolf Management Plan
Raincoast carnivore scientists submitted comments today on BC’s Draft Wolf Management Plan.
Overall, this is a deeply flawed plan that contains many scientifically unsound and uninformed objectives. There is an exaggerated view of the impacts of wolves on both the livestock industry as well as hunting opportunities and a failure to consider the many ecological and economic benefits of having significant wolf populations in BC. The plan identifies conservation as important, but focuses exclusively on exploitation management and population control with little regard for conservation of wolves.

We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
