CHN Co-Hosts Meeting on the Ethics of Wolf Recovery in the Upper Great Lakes

Regional Cultures of Conservation,

December 11th, 2009

The recovery of the grey wolf population in the Upper Great Lakes over the last several decades has been an important conservation success story — one that, at the same time, raises new and challenging issues for conservationists, resource managers, policy-makers, scientists, landowners, and citizens.  To explore the emerging ethical issues involved in living with the recovered wolf population, CHN and the Aldo Leopold Foundation teamed up to organize a discussion among some of the region’s leading wolf biologists, environmental ethicists, and wildlife researchers, representing agencies, conservation organizations, universities, and Native American tribes from throughtout the region.  The meeting, developed in partnership with The Conservation Ethics Group, was held on Dec. 5-6, 2009, at the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center, headquarters of the Aldo Leopold Foundation outside Baraboo, Wisconsin.   In the weeks ahead, CHN and ALF will provide a summary and synthesis of the discussion, which organizers hope will lead to continued exchanges among all who share an interest in this vital conservation issue.
