From Oct. 23-24, I attended this conference in Thompson, MB with many of the top wolf biologists in attendance. Many topics were presented but the main value of this conference was meeting & talking privately to the likes of David Mech, Paul Paquet, and Marco Musiani.
Thompson's SpiritWay is working on establishing their city as a Centre of Excellence for the wolf where they can attract researchers to work in northern Manitoba with wolves. They are also hoping to establish themselves as a major ecotourism centre much like Churchill is for polar bears. Dr. Mech was very impressed with Thompson's concern for the wolf which he had not witnessed anywhere else in the world.
