Colorado is testing whether drones can support wolf reintroduction by helping to deter them from livestock. Researchers will study how wolves respond to drone-broadcast sounds—and whether those effects diminish with repeated exposure. Read more: bit.ly/47fNZPP

Wolves are returning to the Northeast—naturally. But in New York, they’re still being shot, mistaken for coyotes. It’s time for NY to add wolves to its 2025 Wildlife Action Plan. This would pave the way for federal resources, helping to prepare the state for wolf recovery.
