很少有动物能像狼一样激起如此广泛的情感。有些人将狼视为失落荒野的象征；另一些人则将狼视为失落荒野的象征。其他人则将他们视为入侵者。随着狼的支持者和反对者之间的斗争仍在继续，寻找解决冲突的同时支持自然完整性的解决方案具有挑战性。在这篇文章中，我们认为我们需要为狼和其他本土食肉动物腾出空间，这些动物正在重新殖民它们被灭绝的地区。促进共存的策略是必要的，野生动物机构必须考虑所有利益相关者，并投入足够的资源，让公众了解如何减轻人/家养动物与捕食者之间的冲突。价值观和道德必须融入野生动物政策和管理，我们必须愿意提出困难的道德问题并从过去的错误中吸取教训。
Few animals provoke as wide a range of emotions as wolves. Some see wolves as icons of a lost wilderness; others see them as intruders. As the battle continues between wolf proponents and opponents, finding solutions that resolve conflicts while supporting the integrity of nature is challenging. In this essay we argue that we need to make room for wolves and other native carnivores who are re-colonizing areas from which they were extirpated. Strategies that foster coexistence are necessary and wildlife agencies must consider all stakeholders and invest adequate resources to inform the public about how to mitigate conflicts between people/domestic animals, and predators. Values and ethics must be woven into wildlife policy and management and we must be willing to ask difficult ethical questions and learn from past mistakes.
