Woman are leading the charge in wolf & wildlife advocacy. Throughout the United States we’re seeing more woman working to change the paradigm in wildlife conservation. These woman have become leaders in creating nonprofits, non lethal workshops, producing documentary films and the fine arts. Woman are speaking up and demanding change in the way we manage our wild sentient-beings and these strong voices are being heard.
That’s woman-power as we called it in the sixties! Wolves of Douglas County Wisconsin salutes woman wolf & Wildlife leaders, and will be doing featured interviews in a series about woman in Wildlife advocacy.
Stay tuned for more to come…

Exposing the Big Game 
It’s about time. I see a lot of ‘leading the charge’ for the MeToo movement, but not much of a charge to lead for the environment. I have mixed feelings about these politically correct, feel good about yourself articles because they take the focus off the real problem and put the spotlight right back on people.
In the Great Lakes, I see women leaders ‘following’ their male counterparts about taking the wolves off the endangered list, and giving brutal killing rights to dog hunters. It may just be inexperience and lack of knowledge; generally, women are new to this game, because it has been the province of males for so long. The West and the Interior Department are prime examples, Oregon’s governor doesn’t seem to know how to work with the states ranchers and gun and hunting lobbies. Sally Jewell did virtually nothing. That said, there are probably just as many men, if not more, who are unsung heroes for the environment and wildlife protection.
I sure hope ‘the charge’ gets started soon, because wolves have already been delisted in the West, without judicial review, and the threat of the same still hovers over the Great Lakes with those two DINOs in WI and MN. Grizzlies are threatened next.
I don’t hear any bugle calls yet. But now would be a good time to start:
“Both the House and Senate bills include a wolf delisting rider that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and sabotages the checks and balances of our democracy. The language would overturn a unanimous D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision issued on August 1, 2017 and delist wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. It would also block citizens from going to court to challenge this legislative delisting or a court-ordered wolf delisting in Wyoming.”
