Denali Wolves on The Wolf Connection Podcast
In March, we were honored to speak as a guest on the The Wolf Connection podcast! This podcast explores the intricate bond between humans and wolves, seeking to better understand our relationship with one of humankind's earliest teachers; the wolf. Re-discovering this human/wolf connection may prove to be essential to our development as individuals, the cultivation of productive societies, and a sustainable civilization on this planet.
On this podcast, you will experience a wide array of guests, such as Scientists, Authors, Conservationists, Visual Artists, Ranchers, Hunters, Naturalists and even Wolf Connection Staff & Volunteers! On episode 166, you’ll hear from AWA’s Executive Director, Nicole Schmitt!
Since this podcast aired, the Alaska Board of Game unanimously voted down the Denali wolf buffer proposal. Read more on our upcoming Fairbanks Board of Game summary blog.
