Wolverines are struggling. The remote wilderness they need is shrinking because of industrial and recreational activities.
Unsustainable trapping and a changing climate put further pressure on their populations.
We need to do things differently, so that wolverines will survive! But how?
Our research aims to find science-based solutions so that future generations can catch a glimpse of this mighty animal in the wild, too.

Wolverines on CBC news & radio! The wolverine's world is shrinking. But they've found a safe haven in BC mountains where climate 'refugias' are buffering wolverines from effects of climate change. For now. Listen here and read here.
Report your wolverine sighting!
Public observations help us find and protect wolverine maternal dens, improve wolverine distribution maps, and teach us more about their life history.
Did you see a wolverine, wolverine sign (tracks, scats, den), or what you think might be a wolverine sign? We would like to hear from you! We're collecting submissions (ideally with some photos) from anywhere in Canada, and beyond.
We are particularly interested in sightings from BC’s South Coast, Selkirk, Purcell, Monashee and Cariboo Mountains, and the Canadian Rockies.
Chasing A Trace - Short Film
In 2019, wolverine researcher Mirjam Barrueto, who leads the Female Wolverine Project, teamed up with filmmaker Leanne Allison to document aspects of her work. The film was funded through a Telus Storyhive grant, and got shown at the 2019 Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival!
