The government estimates there are likely to be fewer than 1,000 adults left, and possibly as few as 236, mainly located in protected areas including Algonquin Provincial Park
The eastern wolf, found only in Ontario and Quebec, has been upgraded to a threatened species by the federal government, which says there may be as few as 236 adults in Canada.
. “What the eastern wolf needs are science-based recovery strategies in Ontario and Quebec and for these to be heeded – that means prohibiting killing both wolves and similar-looking eastern coyotes throughout the entire area where eastern wolves have been found or are likely to be living and breeding.”
The new designation for the eastern wolf may have an impact on plans to build a nuclear waste dump at Chalk River on a forested area northwest of Ottawa. Genetic testing has found that eastern wolves roam on the site owned by Atomic Energy of Canada. An analysis is now required of the how the planned construction activity will affect eastern wolves there.
