 The Wolverine
Foundation
The wolverine
(Gulo
gulo) earned its
place in North American folklore long before
north-country trappers and a few over-zealous naturalists
began to spin tales of a beast of great ferocity,
cunning, and extraordinary strength. Indian mythology
describes the wolverine as a trickster-hero, and a link
to the spirit world. Still, even today the wolverine
remains largely a mystery.
The Wolverine Foundation,
Inc. was formed
in 1996 to promote interest in the wolverine's status and
ecological role in the world wildlife community. It is a
non-profit foundation comprised of leading wildlife scientists
knowledgeable in the life history, ecology, and management of
one of the least understood and most fascinating creatures on
earth.
The Wolverine
Foundation, Inc. recognizes the need for a coordinated
science-based effort to elevate the wolverine's management
status through support and initiation of research, and to
develop an information network for professional and public
education.
Our site provides
wolverine life history sections for the professional through
elementary level students. It provides links to current
research, a comprehensive literature bibliography ... and much
more. For more details see www.wolverinefoundation.org
On Wolverine Conservation
- A Naturalist's Letter to His
Colleagues
Our wolverine monitoring spanned
a decade of winters spent in Alberta’s Chinchaga wilderness
[northern Canada], yet it was a modest initiative involving
only one man “on the ground.” That’s one of the reasons it lasted ten
years – it was realistic to the
client.
Comments from
biologists studying wolverine – the living definition of
“elusive” - about costs versus results I hear loud and
clear!
I was thinking the
other day that I wonder how much each remote-camera image
we got showing a wolverine cost in terms of time, money,
and ecological impact (invasiveness, greenhouse gases
emitted, establishing trails for trappers to follow and
showing them where the animals were, etc…) Was it worth
it?
To me, personally –
selfishly – absolutely. To the client? I certainly hope
so.
Academically? Yeah, probably – it’s interesting
stuff!
In the bigger
scheme?
