Diane Boyd has spent four decades studying and advocating for wolves in the wilds of Montana. When she started, she was the only female biologist in the US researching and radio-collaring wild wolves. She faced the rigors of the Montana winter in an isolated cabin without running water or electricity. From the early days of wolf research to the present-day challenges of wolf management across the globe, Boyd highlights her interactions with an apex predator that captured her undying admiration.
