July 2025 - 10-Year Wolf Report

Last week the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) published a report summarizing its management and conservation activities for gray wolves (Canis lupus) over the past 10 years.

“Ten Years of Gray Wolf Conservation and Management in California: 2015-2024” details CDFW’s wolf conservation and management efforts, including wolf monitoring techniques, wolf-livestock depredation investigations, wolf captures and population data for the state’s wolf packs known through 2024, including the minimum number of individuals, breeding pairs and litters produced.

Starting in 2026, CDFW plans to produce an annual report about its wolf management and conservation activities using a similar format to what is presented in this 10-year report.
