Ecovolunteer in Russia Wolves

oringinal article

We aim to trace wolves after their return to nature and to monitor their interactions with wild animals. This includes radiotracking of released wolves and bears, locating and following wolf trails, faeces and prey remains. When footprints are sighted, the number of animals, their ages and sex is recorded. We study the local migration routes and the size of the home-ranges so as to understand better the travelling patterns of these highly social and intelligent animals.

Since 2001, similar studies are carried out on wolves. In 2002-2007 seventeen wolves were returned to the wild.
