This site reports on a 14 year study of wolves, from 1987 to 2000, which represents the longest intensive study
of wolves ever conducted in Canada, and one of the most intensive in the world. It took place in Algonquin
Provincial Park and vicinity, and encompassed wolf-prey-forest ecosystem relationships. It resulted in the
permanent, legal establishment of a wolf protection zone around the entire Park, one of the first of its type for
any species of large carnivore in the world.
The study was under the direction of Dr. John and Mary Theberge and was based out of
the Faculty of Environmental Studies, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. It built on the earlier pioneer
wolf research conducted by Douglas H. Pimlott, so that wolf-prey relationships could be compared over a 40 year
period.
The study resulted in:
- one major book: Wolf Country, Eleven Years Tracking Algonquin Wolves (McClelland and Stewart Publishers, Toronto, Ontario,
- one major scientific monograph, published by the University of Waterloo, Ontario, and available to be read or downloaded here,
- 2 book chapters,
- 22 scientific papers,
- one Ph.D. degree, 7 Master's Degrees, and 11 Bachelor's papers,
- 5 conservation articles,
- five related ecological park management publications.
