Wolves in the West: 30 Years of Reintroduction and the New Threats Wolves Face Today

Thirty years ago there were virtually no wolves in the Western U.S., the result of a decades-long eradication campaign. Then in 1995, the federal government brought them back, in their most controversial wildlife program ever. Reporters Heath Druzin (producer of the podcast Extremely American) and Clark Corbin took a 1,000-mile journey through wolf country to produce the podcast and written series Howl. They talk to the people who endured death threats, gun shots and frostbite to help spark one of nature’s greatest comebacks.

Join Boise State Public Radio and the Idaho Capital Sun Tuesday, June 17 for a discussion around the history, reintroduction, and politics of wolves. Heath and Clark will be joined by Marcie Carter, Suzanne Asha Stone, and Carter Niemeyer, who were key in bringing wolves back to the American West.

This event is FREE with a suggested donation of $10.
