Letter in Science challenges Alberta’s ill-advised black bear hunting policy
Scientists question the evidence behind Alberta’s approach to “responsible wildlife stewardship” and call for the suspension of hound hunting.
As a graduate student in the Canid Conservation Science lab at the University of Calgary, Chelsea was inspired to learn more about how to effectively advocate for wolves while completing her thesis. She joined the Raincoast team in 2020 to help develop the Wolf Conservation Program and continues to coordinate and deliver the program’s various initiatives. More about Chelsea.

Whether in a village or a wolf pack, caring for the next generation is a shared responsibility.
What does a wolf eat over the course of a year? How can we find out? Through scat analysis! As we head into 2026, we wanted to share some results from our scat analysis work documenting what recovering wolf populations eat throughout the seasons. While it’s well known that wolves have a strong appetite for…
The level of human-caused wolf mortality can only be described as staggering.
