Yellowstone: Ultimate Wolf & Wildlife Safari

Track wolves, bison, elk, moose and other iconic wildlife amid the snowy splendor of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—the best place on the planet to spot a wolf in the wild.

In 1995, more than a century after the gray wolf was eradicated from the Yellowstone region, it was reintroduced to America's first national park. As wolves began to thrive again in their native habitat, so, too, did controversy. Watch this short film to learn more about the conservation challenges faced by Yellowstone's wolves.

Learn about wolf biology and behavior, and explore wolves’ natural and cultural history, including conservation challenges and successes. Aaron will also discuss how we can peacefully co-exist with these charismatic carnivores, and where conservation travel, like our Yellowstone wolf adventures, fits in.
