An Alaska Wildlife Alliance memo reveals a lot of interesting information regarding the Alaska Board of Game that voted to remove the buffer zone for wolves which surrounded Denali National Park.

Alaska officials have killed two wolves who they believe may have been responsible for the death of a teacher in Chignik Lake on March 8, 2010.

In March of 2009, Alaska used spotter planes and a helicopter to kill 84 wolves near the Yukon-Charlie Rivers National Preserve. Defenders is mobilizing a campaign to try and prevent state officials killing more than twice as many in 2010.

In an email received by HOWLColorado from Andrea Gusty, Investigative reporter from KTVA-TV, examiners have ruled out other causes of death and determined an animal attack killed Alaska teacher, Candice Berner.

32-year-old Candice Berner of Chignik Lake, Alaska, was found dead Monday. A group of young men who found the body believed wolves were responsible.

According to KTUU-TV, the Alaska Board of Game voted to remove the wolf protection buffer zone around the Denali National Park.

After a year which was marked by a number of steps backwards for America’s wolves, wolf advocates are preparing for another year of fights – and do so by asking for last minute donations.

Maria Ferguson, of the Wolf Howl Animal Preserve, has been involved with an initiative which could place orphaned wolf pups in Alaska at authorized, approved sanctuaries around the country.
