Who We Are

We are a research initiative launched within UC Berkeley’s Wildlife Program aimed at advancing the science and management of gray wolves in California. In partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and with additional support from the National Geographic Society, we bring together scientists, wildlife managers, and communicators to better understand the social and ecological factors that shape wolf populations and inform management decisions.

What We Do

Our project works to understand the ecology and wolf-human interactions of the recolonizing population in California. Utilizing innovative and interdisciplinary methods, we gather data on wolf spatial ecology, diet, predator-prey dynamics, and recolonization within California, while contributing to conflict reduction strategies for rural communities and agricultural producers.
