Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

The Humane Society Institute for Science & Policy presents Living Large: Wolves, Bears, Cougars and Humans in North America , October 12-14, 2015 The Kellogg Conference Center at Gallaudet University, Washington, DC



  North America’s large carnivores – black and brown bears, cougars and wolves – declined dramatically following European colonization, largely due to human persecution. Rising ethical concern for animals, along with a growing understanding of the integral ecological role of apex carnivores, has been shifting wildlife management strategies from extirpation toward protection and
 recovery.







 This conference seeks to foreground the best ideas from animal welfare, conservation biology, public policy, conflict resolution, law, and other disciplines in the interests of securing the future of these iconic creatures.
