A new wolf pack, irate ranchers, and the astonishing comeback of California’s most celebrated predator [San Francisco Chronicle – October 13, 2024]

What’s This Story About: A newly formed wolf pack has been spotted in Northern California, marking a major milestone in the species’ return to the region. While conservationists are celebrating the comeback, local ranchers are voicing concern over livestock safety and increased tension with wildlife.
Why This Story: It’s challenging to call the wolf’s return to northeastern California a government conspiracy when the critters came back on their own.  More accurately and appropriately,  you can call their return a great example of natural rewilding. Wolves belong in California us much as we humans do, both species are native to the area.
