In 2015 the estimated wolf population in Washington state has increased by approximately 32% when compared to the numbers from 2014. There are at least 90 known wolves that run in 18 known packs that range in size from 2 to 8 wolves each. There were 7 documented wolf moralities during the year. Three were caused by humans, three were legal harvest, and one was unknown.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission formally adopted the Wolf Conservation and Management Plan in December of 2011. This was plan was adopted to help guide the recovery and management of gray wolves. The intended goal is to naturally recolonize the State of Washington. In the State of Washington wolves are classified as an endangered species under state law regardless of federal status.
For this project I will be creating an animation and an info-graphic file that will provide information about how wolf population and conservation is going in Washington. It will also cover the history of wolves and what led them to become endangered in the first place because I feel that is an important part of the whole story.
