Wolverine numbers falling in Canadian Rockies due to recreation and roads
Original: Backcountry recreation and roads push wolverine numbers down in Canadian Rockies, study finds
A new study finds that wolverine populations in the Canadian Rockies are declining, with backcountry recreation and road development identified as key pressures on the species. The findings suggest that human activity in remote mountain habitat is disturbing one of North America's most elusive carnivores, raising concerns among conservationists about how to balance outdoor tourism with wildlife protection.
Why now: A newly published study linking human recreation and roads to wolverine declines is drawing attention to conservation trade-offs in the Canadian Rockies.
