Oregon Wolves

Oregon Wolves refers to the population of gray wolves living in Oregon, a state known for balancing wildlife conservation with human interests. After being nearly eliminated by the early 20th century, wolf populations have partially recovered due to conservation efforts. Today, wolves are protected under federal and state laws, but there are ongoing debates about managing their numbers, especially regarding livestock protection and public safety. The presence of wolves affects ecosystems by helping maintain healthy prey populations and biodiversity, making their management a key aspect of Oregon’s environmental and wildlife policies.
