URGENT FUNDING NEED FOR CALIFORNIA WOLVES
We don’t want livestock to die because of wolves and we don’t wolves to be killed because of livestock. This is the philosophy guiding California Wolf Center's work with the ranching community sharing the landscape with wild wolves. Northern California ranchers are stewards of much of the open space where wolves are starting to return and will reside in the future. Because of this, California Wolf Center has embarked on a road less traveled by partnering with ranchers. Successful coexistence between wolves and livestock is possible if we provide proactive and nonlethal tools!
Due to the vast open rangeland in the northern state, the use of Ranger Riders is the best option for successful coexistence between wolves and livestock. As wolves are inherently shy of humans, providing a human presence through Range Riders deters wild wolves from approaching the area and they can move cattle if needed.
Recently, California Wolf Center's Director of California Wolf Recovery participated in a four day Range Rider training hosted in Tom Miner Basin, Montana. The class combined the fields of ranching and wildlife conservation with the intent of seeking creative solutions for moving forward on today's landscape. Thanks to your support, we were also able to provide funding for two Northern California ranchers who operate in potential wolf habitat to participate as well!
With this training completed, we now have the tools necessary to launch California’s inaugural Range Rider program! California Wolf Center also has numerous individuals within the Northern California ranching community wanting to be involved. It is critical that this campaign is successful in order to fully implement this essential coexistence program. Help California Wolf Center raise the final funds of this campaign to ensure the Range Rider program is as successful as it truly needs to be!
