Wonderful wolf 🐺🐺

Rob Edward saw his first wolf in the wild in 1991, when it trotted silently across a back road just minutes from a highway in northern British Columbia. Edward was helping his brother transfer horses from North Dakota to Alaska, and remembers being awestruck by the sight of what he now describes as a “large canid.” But the moment was bittersweet: He was also devastated by the environmental destruction wreaked on the landscape.

“The timber companies left these green strips of about 100 yards on either side of the road, but any time you get an elevation change, you can look over it,” he says. “They just leveled everything. It was so obvious that the green strips were complete greenwashing. They were simply meant to keep peoples’ minds off of the fact that the forests were gone.”

He worried that North America’s gray wolves could be next.
