LAPWAI — Members of the Nez Perce Tribe stressed the interconnectedness of all life — human and wild — during a three-hour ceremony Saturday honoring the now decades-old return of wolves to Idaho and other northwest states.
While wolf recovery has been deemed one of the most high-profile conservation success stories of the past 50 years, many speakers said the work is not done and that wolves, especially those in Idaho, remain misunderstood, persecuted and under great threat.
