A detailed report on the findings from phase 1 of the wolf perception study, has been released.

Memorial University student Bonnie Bishop spent three months in Thompson last summer to study the attitude residents have on wolves.

Under the guidance of Professor, Dr. Alistair Bath, Bishop found 45-60% of the residents surveyed were slightly or strongly in favour of all aspects of wolves and wolf initiatives.

Phase 2 of Bishop’s research takes place this summer, and will focus on Aboriginal and youth respondents.
