Wolverine Conservation Study

Throughout the Rocky Mountains, very little is known about wolverines. Specifically, wildlife biologists and land managers do not have a clear understanding of the species' habitat needs, behavior, or population numbers. However, they do believe that the wolverine may soon receive special conservation status. Funds raised for this project will support the final two years of a five-year field study focused on evaluating wolverine status, ecology, and behavior in the Absaroka Mountain Range. Through this project, study collaboration will continue between multiple government agencies and conservation organizations, and public education regarding wolverine conservation will continue through Park outreach and publications.
