Practical Ethics

Wolves

Wolves are a signature focus of my research. Wolves are good to think with, teaching us much about human-animal relations, environmental sustainability, and the role of ethics in public policy.

If you are just beginning to learn about wolves, you might want to visit these websites first.

• Wolf Discovery Curriculum, at www.kidsplanet.org/tt/wolfcurriculum.html.
• Gray Wolf entry on Wikipedia, at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf.
• IUCN Canid Species Accounts, at www.canids.org/species/index.htm.

These will get you started with the basics of wolf biology, ecology and ethology. But don't stop there! The most interesting aspect about wolves is their troubled relationship to humans, and the ethics and politics swirling about them. To explore these issues, follow the links in the sidebar.
