WOLF NEWS PAGE URGENT NEWS! This IS A VERY SAD DAY. On this day Feburary 21, 2008 the Bush administarion is in the finalizing process of delisting the northern Rockies wolf population. The grey wolf population in northern Rockies has made a comeback thanks to the Endangered Speices Act and the many people dedicated to wolf recovery and education. Wolves once again are beginning to return to their ancient role as keepers of the balance by removing sick, diseased, injured and older non-breeding elk form the herds. However, Is this yet another discusting page in the history of how humans have treated the wolf? Enough of this persecustion and then recovery just to start the cycle over again...removal of the preceived threat, (the wolf?) by delisting and out right killing, only to list again is the kind of madness that only the two legged species, humans could possibly conjure up. With the human population in the US now over 300 million and climbing, and the increasing demand of this population on natural resources, space for recreation and housing where will there be room for our ancester the wolf? Where are the large tracts of land being put aside for wildlife, migarting birds, fish and trees? Who will speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and are no longer heard by many? I suggest readers go to www.defenders.org and read more details on all the latest wolf news. Write letters and make phone calls to your local senators and legislators asking them not to back these "wild west" policies. Ah ho! I have said not nearly enough.

Back here at Wolf Mounatin the wolves are continuing to howl loud and often. The snow continues to fall but the days are getting longer and the sun is higher in the sky a little bit more each day. It appears that the Earth will send yet another spring our way and we are greatful that the cycles continue dipsite all the environmental changes taking place.
I The log lean to was finsihed by Sophie and Will last month and Nakoa has been observed going inside but not Natani. Now when we are asked about a shelter we can say there it is! The wolves most likely will not use it.
