Saving the Endangered Gray Wolf

Feared, revered, honored, and hated at various points throughout history, the gray wolf has always seemed to provoke strong responses. By the twentieth century, human beings had killed or driven off wolf populations throughout most of the animal's historic range. With the coming of the conservation movement, though, the wolf's bad fortune began to improve. People came to understand the key role that the predator played in the habitats in which it lived and began wolf reintroduction projects. Readers will learn about the animal and its behaviors, as well as the efforts to bring the wolf back. Highly informative and likely to appeal to animal lovers.
