2020 Wolf Management Proceeding

In the creation story of the Ojibwe1, Original Man was created by Kitche Manitou; the Great Spirit. Original Man was given the task to walk across the world and name all the living things. While he was completing this task, Original Man noticed that all the other animals were in pairs. When Original Man mentioned this, the Great Spirit created a companion for him. Not a woman, as in the Christian story of

In January 2019, the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) and GNWT submitted the Joint Proposal on Management Actions for the Bluenose-East Ɂekwǫ̀ (Barren-ground caribou) Herd 2019-2021 to the Board, outlining proposed management actions for the Sahtì ekwǫ̀ herd in Wek’èezhìı. The management actions proposed by TG and GNWT in the Joint Proposal were grouped under the five categories: harvest, predators, habitat and land use, and education as well as research and monitoring.

In January 2019, the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) and GNWT submitted the Joint Proposal on Management Actions for the Bathurst Ɂekwǫ̀ (Barren-ground caribou) Herd 2019-2021 to the Board, outlining proposed management actions for the Kǫ̀k’èetı̀ ekwǫ̀ herd in Wek’èezhìı. The management actions proposed by TG and GNWT in the Joint Proposal were grouped under the five categories: harvest, predators, habitat and land use, and education as well as research and monitoring.

In December 2015, the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) and ENR submitted the Joint Proposal on Management Actions for Bluenose-East Caribou 2016-2019 to the Board, which proposed new restrictions on hunter harvest, predator management and ongoing monitoring.  More specifically, TG and ENR proposed implementing a herd-wide total allowable harvest of 950 bulls-only and allocation for the Bluenose-East caribou herd and conducting a feasibility assessment of a full range of dìga (wolf) management actions.  The WRRB considers any specific restriction of harvest or component of harvest

In December 2015, the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) and ENR submitted the Joint Proposal on Caribou Management Actions for the Bathurst Herd: 2016-2019 to the Board, which proposed new restrictions on hunter harvest, predator management to reduce dìga (wolf) populations on the winter range of the Bathurst ɂekwǫ̀ herd and ongoing biological monitoring.  The WRRB considered any specific restriction of harvest or component of harvest as the establishment of a total allowable harvest (TAH).  After review and analysis of the proposal, the WRRB complied with Section 12.3.10 of the T

Wolves, Canis lupus, routinely live in large packs that include unrelated individuals and mature offspring. Studies show that individual wolves that live in large packs suffer reduced foraging returns. Therefore,
group hunting and group living (sociality) in wolves is generally thought to be favoured by indirect fitness gains accrued through kin-directed altruism. However, we show that kin-directed altruism cannot account

With the removal of the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) from the United States Endangered Species List in 2012 throughout most of the contiguous United States, several states legalized wolf hunting as part of wildlife management programs and the protection of livestock. However, the legalization of wolf hunting has created much conflict between indigenous and non-indigenous populations in the Great Lakes region.
