That was the primary question driving a survey developed by <strong>Drs. <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/thelivesofwilddogs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valli-Laurente Fraser-Celin</a></strong> and <a href="https://www.stephanierutherfordphd.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephanie Rutherford</strong></a> in conjunction with The Fur-Bearers earlier this year.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style= "mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" xml:lang="EN-US">The final report, titled, <a href= "https://thefurbearers.com/blog/the-social-landscape-of-wolves-in-canada-a-national-survey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Social Landscape of Wolves in Canada: A National Survey</em></a>, revealed fascinating results, some of which were quite unexpected.
