KQED reports that trail cameras set up by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in northeast California recorded the pups and two or three adult wolves in June.Amaroq Weiss advocates for West Coast wolves with the Center for Biological Diversity. He says the return of wolves to the state is an important development for conservation efforts.
Wolves are protected under California’s Endangered Species Act even as the federal Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to de-list grey wolves as an endangered species.
