What Defenders Is Doing to Help Wolverines
Defenders of Wildlife has been fighting to protect wolverines under the Endangered Species Act since 2000.
We’ve also recruited and trained volunteer “citizen scientists” to document wolverines using snow-tracking and remote cameras and we help increase appreciation for these animals by supporting the Wolverine Network, a coalition and website for sharing information on wolverine research, management and conservation.
