Eli Francovich - The Return of the Wolves

After being nearly eradicated in the 1990s, the gray wolf has made an astonishing comeback in Washington state, delighting conservationists but infuriating ranchers. Featured on this episode of Big Blend Radio, journalist and author Eli Francovich, discusses his new book, "The Return of Wolves: An Iconic Predator’s Struggle to Survive in the American West" (Timber Press: April 11, 2023). In it, Francovich combines interviews, extensive research, and on-the-ground reporting to reveal the deep social and political struggles at the core of this debate over the endangered species. Ultimately, he endeavors to find a solution that will appease both parties—and perhaps mend an ever-widening division in American culture.
