Show Notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with wolf researcher, interpreter, and award-winning author, Rick McIntyre. Wolves are one of our favorite beings to talk about and to be able to speak with Rick about them is an honor and an absolute joy.

In 1996, wolves were relocated from Canada to Yellowstone National Park and thus began the Wolf Reintroduction Project. What would follow would not only greatly impact the park and wolf conservation, but the incredible story of these wolves would travel across the world, enamoring hundreds of thousands of travelers to Yellowstone, and changing the way we see wolves and their families forever.

Rick captures the trials and tribulations of pack life, doggedly documenting the growing packs in a detailed account while witnessing them for years upon years, which ultimately resulted in the book series Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone.

It is because of the extraordinary work he did with the Wolf Project that he became known as “The Wolf Interpreter.”

Thanks so much for listening and sharing. Lots of Love.
