In this episode of Rewildology, we dive into the fascinating world of wolverines with renowned author and wildlife biologist Douglas Chadwick. Drawing from his book "The Wolverine Way" and recent scientific research, we explore the current status of these elusive and hardy creatures across their vast range in North America, Europe, and Asia. Chadwick shares insights into the unique adaptations and behaviors that make wolverines the true "bushmasters of the mountains." We discuss the complex challenges facing wolverine populations, including climate change, habitat fragmentation, and human disturbance, while also examining conservation efforts and success stories from around the globe. From the snowy peaks of the Rockies to the boreal forests of Scandinavia, this episode offers listeners an in-depth look at one of nature's toughest survivors and the critical efforts to preserve their way of life in our rapidly changing world.
