About this listen

In 1995 wolves had been eradicated from the Western U.S. That’s when the Federal Government undertook its most ambitious, controversial wildlife project yet: bring wolves back to the Rocky Mountains. Host Heath Druzin and reporter Clark Corbin take listeners on an immersive journey into wolf country, tracking 30 years of wolf reintroduction in the U.S. They talk to the people who endured death hearts, gun shots and frostbite to help spark one of nature’s greatest comebacks. Thousands of wolves now roam across eight Western states. But a new war on wolves is brewing, threatening to turn back the clock to the bad old days of the Old West. Or the good old days, depending on who you talk to.
