For twenty years, Ian McAllister has explored the rugged north
coast of British Columbia, known as the Great Bear Rainforest, one
of the last places on the planet where wolves live in an
undisturbed way. This book describes McAllister's experiences over
that period following two packs of wolves, one that dominates the
extreme outer coastal islands, and another that lives farther
inland in the heart of the temperate rainforest. McAllister, along
with Chris Darimont and Paul C. Paquet, were the first to document
the unique behavior of these animals in The Last Wild Wolves. In
Following the Last Wild Wolves McAllister brings readers up to date
describing what has happened to the wolves and their environment
since the book first appeared. He chronicles their unique behavior
as they fish for salmon in the fall, target seals hauled out on
rocks in winter, and give birth to their young in spring. He also
describes the work of scientists with the Raincoast Conservation
Society who have been studying the wolves and explains how their
science corroborates his own observations and the traditional
knowledge of the area's Native people. Most interestingly, the
results of these studies reveal a genetically distinct population
of wolves independent of and separate from all other known wolf
populations on the planet.
