Conservation can be a lonely fight... and few people know that the great Wolfer of the West. Carter Niemeyer was picked as the perfect man for the job by the US government to reintroduce wolves from Canada to the United States. Don't miss the epic life of this courageous and wild man. 

“Packs that are continuously trapped and snared and hunted, the packs are smaller and things are a lot more chaotic in the pack because you're killing uncle, you're killing dad, you're killing mom. The pups may get good leadership training and learn how to hunt or the family could be broken up and the puppies never fully learn how to hunt.   And so all this hunting and trapping  lowers the pack size, fragments them often and might cause a pack to break up, and those broken packs can actually send out more wolves in more places.   So, all this intense wolf killing, in my opinion, it's not justified and it's unnecessary because what it's creating now, instead of biological carrying capacity, they're managed politically on social carrying capacity. How many wolves will people tolerate?” - Carter Niemeyer     Carter Niemeyer is a wildlife biologist who has been working with wolves since the 1980s. Afetr decades as a trapper of wolves (and many other predators) he transformed into one of their biggest champions.   He worked as a state trapper and conducted wildlife studies for the US Fish and Wildlife Service and by 1990, he was a full-time wolf specialist, negotiating situations where wolves were in conflict with people.   In the mid 90s, he became a core member of the Wolf Capture Team in Canada. They were there to capture and bring wolves back to the US for the Federal Wolf Reintroduction Program.   Carter's stories are seriously astonishing stories and span more than five decades of work with large predators. He's been a naturalist since he could walk and his love of nature and the outdoors are at the core of his very being.     I spent the afternoon with him at his house in Idaho. I wanted to better understand the wolf hatred and hysteria that's been going in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana for centuries - but currently seems to be at an all-time high.   I wanted to hear Carters perspective, the thoughts of a former trapper on the wolf massacre that's taking place today in the Northern Rockies and, also to ask him if there's anything that we can do to stop it.   LINKS: www.carterniemeyer.com

Both reviled and loved, our history with the wolf is complex and emotional and the stuff of legends. Today, we have an opportunity to learn from one of the most knowledgeable wolf biologists around, Carter Niemeyer, author of “Wolfer” which should be prerequisite reading for everyone involved in the back and forth of the wolf debate! We'll get into the politics and policies that surround wolf management to human interaction and conflict, to public perceptions vs. those of ranchers and the vested interests of those who want to see all wolves dead. From our earliest history to now we continue to wage war against the wolf, and it ‘s taken more than 100 years for science to catch up to understand the ecological cascade of consequences in the wake of their absence and what their presence means for our future- the wolf issue a parable and a symbol of the very soul of wildness.

Carter worked for Wildlife Services as a federal trapper,wolf specialist and then retired as the Wolf Recovery Coordinator in Idaho after 26 years of service. Carter has written two books Wolfer a Memoir and Wolf Land (Bottleflypress.com). Carter continues  to educate ranchers and others on coexisting with wolves and other predators.

Host Gary Strieker talks with wolf specialist Carter Niemeyer about the history of wolf eradication, the re-introduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park, the continuing campaign by some ranchers and politicians to limit the spread of wolves to wider ranges, and the outlook for wolves in the West and the Great Lakes region.

From our previous episode, we discussed wolf reintroduction and it's history and where and how wolves are doing now, 20 years on. Today, we delve a bit deeper into some of Carter's personal journey, discuss his two books, Wolfer -2010- and his newest book, Wolf Land -2016-, some of his experiences and, wolf advocacy- the many groups purporting to support wolves- are they effective or does it fracture and deter from the on-ground effectiveness where your voice and contributions actually make a difference for wolves. Wolves are here to stay. Coexistence is key. They are not mythical l, they are evil incarnate, nor indiscriminate killers of livestock to be feared by either ranchers or hikers, as they reclaim their once and future homes across North America- they are resilient and coming back. Oh, to once again hear the howls in the night, telling us that wilderness is alive and well.

We're all very aware of the multitude of changes and challenges our wildlife and wild places are facing – right now and into the near and far future. From climate change to political change, huge shifts are afoot challenging every level of systems… from increased encounters between humans and wildlife - particularly with large carnivores, occurring more frequently in urban, suburban, exurban and rural landscapes, to the political shifts affecting our national parks, federal and state public lands, while as we expand ever outward, the boundaries between us and them get fuzzier. This requires that we pay attention and understand the rules, laws and protections that are in place, and do our part protections and wild places remain intact. To help us navigate how this pertains to wolves, we welcome back Carter Niemeyer, and get up to speed on wolf recovery and the challenges we face today.
