At NRCC, the intersection of complexity and the future is our workplace. In the face of all that is uncertain and unstable in our world today, we believe the present is also full of opportunity. Moreover, we believe the future is something we have a responsibility to shape.

NRCC continues to invest in people, ideas, partnerships, and science. We are building resilient networks of practice, supporting independent researchers and scientific discovery, and connecting learning from the past with understanding in the present and foresight for the future.

We simply cannot do this work alone...thank you for considering a donation, and thank you for helping us realize a better future for people and nature.

Bozeman friends and community - thank you for the incredible turn out at Saturday night’s sold out event at The Ellen Theater!

We had the privilege of hearing from David Quammen, Betsy Gaines Quammen, Christina Eisenberg, Matt Barnes, and Todd Wilkinson on their visions for a better future for people and wolves, and what is required of us now to move together towards true coexistence.

We discussed the need for new stories, contenting with outdated myths, establishing shared goals and values in wild and intact ecosystems, developing educational projects that foster critical thinking and better problem-solving, supporting science and its role in decision making, and the meaning and actions of reciprocity. We contemplated the question of what we owe to the future, and howled in the likeness of our furred neighbors towards the just-shy-of-full moon. 🌕 What a night! What a community!

If you missed the event, keep an eye on In the Company of Wolves Film for forthcoming screenings and events.

Until next time, Bozeman!

Happy World Wolverine Day!

Wolverines are symbols of wilderness, habitat connectivity, and ecological resilience. They have enormous home ranges and can disperse hundreds of miles, crossing highways, rivers, and mountain ranges. They call us to think big, integrate science with management, reflect on limits, and imagine a better future for humans and wildlife.

NRCC's long history of work on the front lines of wolverine conservation is part of our organizational fabric, and today our Research Associate Rebecca Watters is the founder and director of the Mongolian Wolverine Project.

We're proud to celebrate this important carnivore today. To learn more about the wild and wonderful wolverine, visit worldwolverineday.org.
