The 17th year of the Wood River Wolf Project extended our record-breaking success with zero confirmed losses and only two possible sheep losses attributed to wolves among 18,000 sheep present during the summer grazing season. This achievement led to no wolves being culled by wildlife management agencies. Our project area is among the most difficult places to implement nonlethal methods such as livestock guardian dogs, Foxlights, sound alarms, and closely monitoring wolf activity. Our record of success is a testament to the coexistence of wolves and livestock operations, even in challenging landscapes like ours in Blaine County, Idaho.
Our success story has resonated across borders, reaching other states and European countries grappling with increasing livestock-wolf conflicts. Our team finished our 2024 field season by sharing our model across rural Colorado communities, the Pathways Europe Wildlife Conference in Spain, and the International Wildlife Coexistence Conference in Italy. We owe our accomplishments to you, our supporters. Your generosity fuels our peacekeeping work in the Valley between livestock and wildlife.
As we gear up for the next year's field season, we rely on your continued support. Every donation is valuable, contributing to our 2025 field season and ensuring we can carry on with this important mission. We cannot do this work without you, and every dollar helps!
