Sierra Talks Sierra Club: Return of the Wolves
Return of the Wolves: Myths and Realities. In December of 2011, wolves made their historic return to California for the first time in almost 90 years, but what does this mean for the Golden State? Meanwhile, in the southwestern United States, the Mexican gray wolf struggles to regain a foothold for a population that at one time had been reduced to only seven unrelated individuals. Join with the California Wolf Center as we dispel the myths about wolves, evaluate the ecological need for these top predators, and take a closer look at the need for coexistence as wolves return to our rural communities. Speaker Frank Capolupo has many years of experience in nonprofit education and outreach. His passion for wolf recovery is undeniable and he is a critical part of the California Wolf Center’s education and outreach team, helping spread the truth about wolves. Join Frank as he leads us through the history of wolves in North America and the efforts taking place today to recover this iconic species in the wild. Sierra Club meeting is free and open to the public. Free parking under the Ralphs, Trader Joes. Info: 858-569-6005.
