If a recent proposal from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is put into effect, the wolf's status under the federal Endangered Species Act may be changing. A new curriculum guides students through cultural, political, economic and biological issues surrounding the wolf and its environment. Produced by the International Wolf Center, the curriculum is being released online in conjunction with the University of California Berkeley. Information and activities go beyond wolf biology to analyze the human aspects of this topic. Five distinct modules help students to study the most current wolf information and then develop wolf management plans of their own.
