The moss-covered rainforests of the Alaskan and British Columbian coasts are home to surprisingly dense populations of timber wolves. Both grizzlies and wolves travel the lush river valleys but increasingly trophy hunters and clearcut logging practices are causing biologists concern that these animals may seriously be reduced in numbers before their populations can be assessed. This painting was made into an open edition print to help bring public awareness to the three year research project being conducted on the wolf population of Pooley Island, located north of Bella Bella on the BC coast.
