Sierra Nevada Wolverine Reintroduction

The Sierra Nevada mountains and the central Rocky Mountains once supported populations of wolverines at the southern most portion of their range. Wolverines play an important role as scavengers, often feeding on the carcass remains left by larger predators such as wolves, grizzly bears and mountain lions Since 2005, IWS biologists have worked on a proposal to reestablish or augment wolverines in the Sierra Nevada. If sanctioned by state authorities, wolverines will be translocated to California to help restore and conserve the state’s population.

The money received for donations will help IWS gain the tools needed to acquire, release and monitor wolverines in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
