The Gray Wolves (Canis Lupus) of B.C.'s Coastal Rainforest

A professional biologist, he has studied other elusive wildlife species including Marbled Murrelets, Canada Lynx, and Northern Goshawks. Paul first introduced Chris to wolf research in 1998 when Chris worked for the Central Rockies Wolf Project. Chris plans to continue coastal wolf research as a graduate student. He operates Darimont Environmental. in the School of Forestry. He is a member of several government, industry, and NGO advisory committees concerned with the conservation of carnivores. Dr. Paquet has written more than 90 scientific articles and reports and was co-editor of the book Wolves of the World. His current research focuses on conservation of large carnivores and effects of human activities on their survival. Raincoast is a non-profit organization promoting research and public education with the goal of protecting and restoring coastal rainforest ecosystems and all their interdependent life forms. Using the principles of Conservation Biology and on-the-ground field research, we strive to better understand the region's lands, seas, and wildlife to assist local communities, conservation planners, and government agencies design and implement sustainable land and marine use plans. We believe that vibrant sustainable economies and fully functioning ecosystems are not mutually exclusive but instead are interrelated.
