The gray wolf has made an incredible resurgence in Washington, a state that nearly wiped them off the map by the 1990s. Conservationists and environmentalists have celebrated this remarkable comeback, recognizing the wolf's vital role in maintaining ecological balance. However, Washington ranchers are less enthusiastic about the wolf's presence, as their livelihoods are often threatened by wolf predation on livestock.
In his insightful book, "The Return of Wolves," journalist Eli Francovich delves into the complexities of this conflict and explores potential solutions. He uncovers the time-honored tradition of range riding, where dedicated individuals, like Daniel Curry, patrol the rural Washington landscape on horseback, directly engaging with farmers to protect livestock from wolves while also promoting the conservation and proliferation of wolf populations.
Through his captivating narrative, Francovich brings together a diverse cast of characters, including local ranchers, politicians, environmentalists, and ordinary citizens caught in the middle of this contentious issue. He offers a glimmer of hope for the future of wolves, as well as for our divided nation, by highlighting the potential for collaboration and understanding.
"The Return of Wolves" is a must-read for anyone interested in wildlife conservation, environmental issues, and the delicate balance between human needs and the natural world. It serves as a reminder that even the most contentious conflicts can be resolved through open dialogue, compassion, and a shared commitment to preserving the beauty and diversity of our planet.
