Diane Boyd is a world-renowned wildlife biologist and active participant in wolf recovery in the Northern Rockies over the last 40 years. In part 1 of this two-part episode, Boyd shares stories from her early days living as a field researcher in remote Moose City, Montana—just 400 yards from the Canadian border. She recounts tracking wolves on foot, tranquilizing them for collaring, and working at the intersection of science, policy, and public perception. Boyd also discusses ethical tensions in hunting and how wolves challenge the human imagination.
