Women and Wolves
The Animal News Hour’s inaugural show, “Women Helping Wolves Live,” features seven women, including Wolf Conservation Center’s Maggie Howell, and their thoughts re: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) nationwide gray wolf delisting proposal and rule changes that threaten Mexican wolf recovery.
