Reconstructing the History and Demise of the Red Wolf in Alabama

Sunny Murphy, the Wolf Conservation Center’s Research Associate, presented at The Wildlife Society's annual conference in November 2023. Sunny laid the framework by discussing the socio-ecological system and anthropogenic elements in Alabama during the colonial and antebellum periods, and how the implementation of a specific viewpoint impacted Indigenous peoples, African Americans, and native canids.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jazmin “Sunny” Murphy earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and is currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Environmental Policy and Management (concentration: Fish and Wildlife Management) at American Public University. Her research focuses on the intersections of culture, ideology, legislation, economics and land use with canid ecology, with special emphasis on Black and Indigenous communities in the United States. By combining the study of coyote behavior and cognition with these intersections, she aims to further develop nonlethal adaptive management techniques that are equitable across cultures and species.

On a documentary about the Ozark Howler, it was discovered that it was nothing more than the Red Wolf.

[@JonLoehr]

Hey when there are people who want to get in contact with you to donate a deer carcass to feed the wolves, do you guys also have an email address in addition to a snail mail address and a phone number?

I thought i was going to watch a informative video on wolves and i got an anti-white tirade. Care to discuss rino horn poaching?

[@kimboss4190]

I would love to discuss Rhino horn poaching. I actually think I know how it could easily be ended but haven't moved forward with it...yet.

[@Wolf9of9Odin]

@kimboss4190 I believe poaching should have very severe consequences, especially if the species is endangered.
