We continue our conversation with renowned wildlife biologist Diane Boyd, whose memoir A Woman Among Wolves explores her decades of experience with wolves and the often fraught relationships between people and predators. Boyd reflects on her role as both scientist and advocate, navigating public conflict and the persistent challenge of irrational fear. She discusses the social and ecological dimensions of wolf reintroduction, the limits of tolerance, and how shared goals can bridge divides between conservationists and ranchers.

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.
