The Alberta Wolverine Working Group conducts and promotes wolverine research, conservation, and education in Alberta.
Wolverines are rare, elusive, and incredibly enigmatic. This makes them very difficult to research, and even harder to manage. This is especially true in Alberta, which is on the edge of wolverines’ species range. The Alberta Wolverine Working Group was formed to foster cooperation and partnerships between government, NGOs, and industry. Working together, our mission is to spread the word about wolverines, and advance wolverine conservation in Alberta!
We are always seeking ways to get the word out about wolverines, and expand wolverine research and conservation! To learn more about the Alberta Wolverine Working Group and how you can contribute to conserving wolverines in Alberta, Contact Us, and follow us at facebook/AlbertaWolverine.
