Guiding Ideas

Part of our responsibilities as members of ARC is to try to correct misinformation about animals. That misinformation and lack of understanding has really hurt the gray wolf population. People have hunted gray wolves for years out of fear. And as progress infringes on more of their habitat, we need to help humans understand wolves better to lessen the confrontations.
