About

Meet Taylor

Taylor L. Rabe is a wolf researcher. She spent seven winters in Yellowstone with the Yellowstone Wolf Project, took part in 13 of its winter studies, and shared what she saw with the people who came to watch the park's wolves.

She was Conservation Nation's inaugural fellow. Today she is an MSc student at Colorado State University, studying why some wolves grow too comfortable around people and how to restore their wariness, and she hosts trips to wild places around the world.

Wolves are extremely political, controversial, and it's important to have these conversations with all different types of people.
