The Practices of Wolf Persecution, Protection, and Restoration in Canada and the United States
Abstract
Wolf management can be controversial, reflecting a wide range of public attitudes. We analyzed wolf management case histories representing a spectrum of approaches in Canada and the United States. During the early 20th century, wolves were considered undesirable. They were subject to persecution and were extirpated from large areas of their original range. With increased environmental awareness in the 1970s, attitudes toward wolves began to change. Wolf conservation became a focus of public interest, providing conditions that favored regional wolf recovery. However, in regions where livestock production or big-game hunting is valued, wolves have continued to be controlled by management authorities or through the actions of individual citizens. With US wolf populations recovering in the conterminous states, a rule was approved to delist the species from endangered to threatened status under the Endangered Species Act. Notwithstanding the intent of legal instruments, history has demonstrated that societal values ultimately determine the survival of species such as the wolf.

“By the early 1900s, the formerly wide-ranging North American gray wolf (Canus lupus) had been extirpated from nearly all of the contiguous 48 United States (US) due to an extensive and systematic program of hunting, trapping and poisoning (Musiani and Paquet, 2004).”

In the citing paper
“In those two provinces, there is spatial overlap in the distribution of wolves, coyotes and red foxes in the northern forested areas.To the south, red foxes and coyotes co-occur, but very few wolves exist in the crop and rangeland areas (Musiani & Paquet 2004).”

“Consequently, the lower mtDNA diversity values in tundra–taiga wolves may be due to past decreases in numbers linked to harsh climate, prey (i.e. caribou) shortages, or hunting by local people (Musiani & Paquet 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
