Wonders of the Wolf is a documentary about one of the most successful conservation efforts in modern history: the Yellowstone Wolf Project. From their historic recovery in 1995 to today’s current wolf packs, biologists share stories about the wolves they observe daily in the park. Using innovative technology in bioacoustics, biologists are learning how wolves communicate and applying it toward solutions in human/wildlife conflicts.
Filmmaker Angie Ruiz will join moderator Sarah Anderson (Bren School, UCSB) for a post-screening discussion of Wonders of the Wolf and the Yellowstone Wolf Project. A reception will follow in the Michael Douglas lobby.
This event is sponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center and the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management.
