Wolves, time to make amends
Listening to a new CD called Solitudes by Dan Gibson recently, this one is Legend of the Wolf. Flute, oboe, French horn, violins, viola, cello, double bass and percussion, along with wolf recordings, of young in the den, the first hunt, learning to howl. It's beautiful, my only criticism would be that there's too much human-made music and too little of the wolves, my favourite species bar none. Persecuted by the ignorant hominids from early times, they are being driven to extinction in many countries, and are now only just starting to come back with the aid of dedicated people all over the planet, who both recognise the wolf's key position in the ecological balance, and who admire them for their team work, loyalty and intelligence. There are many excellent wolf sites where information can be had. http://www.savewolves.org/ campaign against the continuing killing of wolves in Alaska and just as they were being reintroduced into lower states, efforts were underway to remove the protection from them. The battle against bigotry continues. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wolves/howl.html has samples of wolf vocalisations which is charming and informative. The Wolf Center [US] has lots of information about wolves, and http://www.boomerwolf.com/wolfwrld.htm has more information and maps the links between wolves and dogs. http://users.ap.net/~chenae/wolfhome.html charts the relationship between Indians and wolves and how it changed when white men and ranching came along. http://www.artofwolves.com/ is a site with the work of many artists depicting wolves, beautiful pictures of a beautiful animal. Restoration of the ecosystem is totally dependent on the wolf, when the time comes for homo sapiens to bow out, the wolf will once again be in its rightful place of caretaker. In places where wolves have been reintroduced, other species have benefited, populations have become more healthy and even their prey animals are stronger and healthier as a result of the wolves culling the sick animals. On January 31, 2005, gray wolf conservation won a victory when a federal district court ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) when it reduced protections for gray wolves across most of the lower-48 United States. The court's decision ensures the highest level of federal protection for wolves and requires that the government continue its efforts to recover the species throughout its historic range.
