The Alberta Government is being pushed to protect wolves on provincial lands bordering Banff National Park, including tightening up hunting and trapping regulations in certain areas. Park officials say wolves are becoming more at risk as they expand their territories due to a declining elk population and increasing human use in the Bow Valley, prompting a need for regional management of carnivores.
