Return of Wolves: An Iconic Predator's Struggle to Survive in the American West (Hardcover)

Eli Francovich's on-the-ground reporting on the conflict between conservationists, ranchers, and an iconic predator reveals a solution that might appease them all. The gray wolf has made an astonishing comeback in Washington. Nearly eradicated by the 1990s, conservationists and environmentalists have cheered its robust return to the state over the last two decades. But Washington ranchers are not so joyous. When wolves prey on livestock, ranchers view their livelihood as under attack. In The Return of Wolves, journalist Eli Francovich investigates how we might mend this divide while keeping wolf populations thriving. He finds an answer in the time-honored tradition of range riding and one passionate range rider, Daniel Curry, who has jumped directly into the fray by patrolling the rural Washington landscape on horseback. Curry engages directly with farmers, seeking to protect livestock from wolves while also protecting and proliferating wolf populations. In The Return of Wolves, we meet an eclectic cast of players--local ranchers, politicians, environmentalists, and everyday folks caught in the middle--and find hope for the future of wolves, and perhaps for our divided nation.
