Aubry (Principal Investigator), Pacific Northwest Research Station, Olympia, Washington; James Goode (Lead Biologist), Rogue River National Forest, Prospect, Oregon. This project is a continuation of a long-term helicopter and remote-camera survey effort to detect the presence of wolverines in the Cascade Range of southern Oregon. To determine where wolverines occur in the Cascade Range of southern Oregon and describe habitats associated with their occurrence. To determine if denning wolverines are present in southern Oregon. After several years of effort, we have finally obtained authority to land a helicopter on wolverine tracks in designated wilderness areas of the Umpqua, Winema, and Rogue River National Forests during the winter of 2000/2001. The following protocol has been established for wolverine helicopter surveys this winter: Prior to April 1, we will conduct air searches for tracks and potential den sites. Where tracks are found and no den site is located, biologist's judgment must be used in deciding to land. Landings can take place at the nearest safe location from the track. If a potential den site is found, tracks will be followed out as far as possible to land and confirm track. Landings or approaches by foot must remain at least 100 m away from any potential den site. Prior to April 1, potential den sites will be monitored by fixed-wing aircraft.

Extractions: The only thing that allowed me to survive a Friday afternoon of mandatory computer training in Missoula was that morning's discussion about wolverine, lynx and marten with local trappers in Seeley Lake. And, I'll confess, the quick return trip from Seeley to Missoula in my 3/4-ton time capsule was not nearly long enough to prepare my psyche for an abrupt transition from the very roots of wildlife science to the work environment of the modern biologist. The profession of scientific wildlife management originated about 60 years ago from the interests, talents and discoveries of skilled outdoorsmen like those trappers who gathered at the invitation of the Seeley Lake Ranger District a couple weeks back. The most secretive denizens of the backcountry (other than the trappers themselves) have so far eluded definitive scientific study. Especially for species such as wolverine, the observations of local trappers are the best information available to land and wildlife managers, and their experiences also fill local gaps in our understanding of many well-studied species. Recently, the wolverine has suffered a degree of political notoriety because of its apparent tendency to use snow-filled, alpine basins for giving birth to its young during the same time that snowmobilers love to play in the same kinds of areas. Some of the older trappers reminded us that notoriety is nothing new to the wolverine. Many early-day homesteaders in the Seeley-Swan (and elsewhere across North America, Scandinavia and Siberia) were pestered by the wolverine's habits of breaking into cabins and following trappers' traplines to devour their catches.

Extractions: They live in forested areas, where they capture small mammals and birds. They depend heavily in winter on carrion, and their jaws are incredibly strong, and well suited to feeding on frozen animal carcasses. Wolverines are well known, too, for their predation on trappers' catches, and cached provisions. The pelt of the Wolverine itself has traditionally had a unique value - it is considered the best fur to trim a parka hood, because it sheds frost without becoming wet.

Extractions: Fish and Wildlife Service Petitioned to List the Wolverine as Threatened or Endangered Six environmental groups have petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the wolverine as a threatened or endangered species. On August 15 the Service's Regional Director in Denver provided a response letter acknowledging receipt of the petition, but indicated the agency will not be able to begin work on a preliminary finding on the petition until funds and staff become available. The wolverine petition was filed by the Biodiversity Legal Foundation (BLF), the Predator Conservation Alliance, Defenders of Wildlife, Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, Friends of the Clearwater, and the Superior Wilderness Action Network. The federal Endangered Species Act provides citizens the opportunity to petition the Service to make administrative findings as to whether a species should be listed. A preliminary finding is to be made in 90 days "to the maximum extent practicable." However, the Service's funding for ESA listing activities is limited by congressional appropriations forcing the agency to assign priorities to its listing workload. Administrative petitions are given a low priority, unless the Service determines that the petition provides justification for emergency action to protect a species.

Extractions: Six conservation groups petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today to protect the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act. The groups, led by Biodiversity Legal Foundation of Boulder, Colorado and Predator Conservation Alliance of Bozeman, Montana, claim that wolverines have been reduced to perhaps 800 animals, due to escalating human activity and destruction of their remote wildlands habitat. The wolverine needs remote, wild country free from disturbances created by people. "There is a remarkable correlation between areas without roads and areas where the wolverine still survives," said David Gaillard of Predator Conservation Alliance. "Our analysis indicates that virtually every area of national forest lands in the northern Rockies with current wolverine observations lies in or immediately adjacent to a roadless or Wilderness area," he added.

Personalize this site WOLVERINE W olverines have a reputation larger than life, but they are impressive weasels by any W olverines are mammals of the dense forest, in both North America and Eurasia. In Colorado, historical and recent reports show nearly all wolverines are from higher elevations, in areas of heavy timber. However, wolverines may follow their considerable appetite into open country. B y day, wolverines rest in an informal den beneath a boulder or windthrown tree. By night they wander to eat rodents and carrion. Occasionally they may eat weakened deer or other large prey, especially when bogged in deep snow. Wolverines are legendary marauders of the North, renowned for their strength, cunning and viciousness. Pound for pound, they are probably no stronger than the next weasel. "Cunning" and "vicious" are terms best reserved for people. People can be cunning and vicious. Wolverines probably are just hungry and quite capable of satisfying it. W olverines breed during the warmer months. Embryos implant in January. Two to four young are born in late March or early April. Growth of the blind, toothless newborns is rapid, and they will be half-grown when they disperse in autumn.

Extractions: The study area included wide-ranging animals like the wolverine (left) and less-mobile animals like the papillose tail-dropper (right). The powerfully-built, dark brown wolverine looks like a small bear (except for its bushy tail), but it acts and moves like a weasel. Human disturbance has reduced its vast historic range in the U.S. to the northern Rockies in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. The papillose tail-dropper is a 1/2-inch-long (12-millimeter-long) slug, brown with bumps ("papilla") and black spots. It can drop and regenerate its tail as a defensive tactic against predators. Old forests offer the tail-dropper the dampness and food (fungi) it needs. T he President's Northwest Forest Plan calls the Snoqualmie Pass-Interstate 90 corridor east of Seattle "a critical connective link in the north-south movement of organisms in the Cascade Range." The corridor is considered a "critical" link because it passes through old-growth forests, separating the unique plant and animal species that live in them. Early in 1998, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) launched a cooperative research effort to study the effects of I-90 on wildlife movement. The researchers chose a 30-mile (48.3-km) study area along I-90, from Snoqualmie Pass and its popular ski resort east to the town of Cle Elum on the edge of the Wenatchee Forest. In many places, I-90 is 8 lanes wide; traffic averages 24,400 vehicles a day and is expected to grow to 41,400 a day by 2018.

Extractions: Status: Former Candidate (Note: As of February 28, 1996, this species is no longer listed as a Candidate species. However, it remains a species of management concern.) Historical Status: The wolverine was historically found throughout large portions of North America, Europe and Asia. In the United States they were found as far south as Maryland and New Mexico. Wolverine numbers appeared to begin to decline in the mid-1800's. Present Status: The wolverine is found throughout the northern forests and polar regions of the world. However, the southern limit of its range has been pushed much further north than its historical distribution. The wolverine has been extirpated from most of its former range in the lower 48 states. Scattered populations can still be found in the western United States. The wolverine appears extirpated (no longer exists) in North Dakota, and probably has been for some time. Individuals, probably dispersing animals, have shown up in South Dakota and Iowa within the last 30 years. Habitat: Although the wolverine once inhabited deciduous forests and grasslands like those found in the Dakotas, today it is limited to conifer forests and tundras.

Mink Polar Bear (N/A) Red Fox River Otter Wolverine Wolf (N/A) Wolverine THE SPECIES: Gulo gulo "... a ravenous monster of insatiate voracity, matchless strength, and supernatural cunning, a terror to all other beasts, the blood thirsty monster of the forest." Elliott Coues, the renowned 19th century naturalist who wrote these words, was describing the general opinion of the wolverine. Tales tell of grizzlies and wolves backing down from the wolverine in confrontations over food. It has been blamed for breaking into cabins and caches, rendering the contents useless with its urine and musk. But this stocky member of the weasel family has a reputation that is largely undeserved. Although common in the Yukon, the wolverine is one of the rarest of mammals, and perhaps one of the best representative of all that is considered wilderness. DISTRIBUTION In the Yukon, wolverines occur in all habitats, from forested valleys to alpine and arctic tundra. However they are most abundant in mountainous regions that support a variety of habitats and a diversity of prey. Our best wolverine range, the southwest Yukon, supports approximately one wolverine per 180 square kilometres.

http://www.wolverines-wolverines.com/wolverine-conservation.htm

Extractions: (Gulo gulo) Wolverines are the largest member of the weasel family in North America. These animals are known as ferocious carnivores that will attack and kill a caribou or even a moose. Wolverines feed on caribou, reindeer, and smaller animals and may scavenge food from dead marine mammals on the beach. Wolverines are most active at night, so are seldom seen by visitors. W olverines are scarce in Europe today. Their continued survival is threatened due to their small and fragmented distribution, and the potential for their future survival may be weakened by the likelihood of low genetic diversity. Habitat loss is not a substantial threat to wolverine conservation. Large areas of Norway, Sweden and Finland are still covered by forests and mountains that offer a suitable prey base and habitat for wolverines. The problem is that these are not wilderness areas, and wolverines come into conflict with a low, but crucial, number of human land uses. This results in a difficult situation for wildlife managers who are forced to try and balance wolverine conservation with the conflicts they create with livestock.
