Pacific Wolves

❗Calling all California residents❗

You can now share your input on California's wolf-livestock compensation program!

📍 ALL California residents
🕑 Takes approximately 20 minutes
📅 Deadline: June 11th

This program provides resources, funding, and assistance for ranchers to support the proactive use of non-lethal deterrents in areas where humans and wolves coexist. Prioritizing funding for this proven way to support the lives of both wolves and people can help build a better future for wolf country in California.

While the compensation/nonlethals program will be used by livestock operators, the program is funded by taxpayer dollars, and ALL Californians have a stake in how wolves are prioritized and supported in the program's operations.

You can also write to CDFW at [email protected] AT ANY TIME to let them know your perspectives on California's wolf-livestock compensation program!

Let’s go, Bae! 😍

We are so excited to see continued recovery for naturally migrated wolf populations in California ❤

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife released its quarterly update this week, confirming 12 established packs and an estimated 90 wolves throughout the state. 🐾

🐺🐺 In California, a pack is defined as two or more wolves detected in a specific area within six months, or with recorded evidence of breeding.

Most of these packs are in Northern California, with the Yowlumni Pack in the south, still ruling over a territory in the Sequoia National Forest!
