As one of the commissioners noted, this is the first time they\u2019ve done that, and it provided people the chance to spend three minutes each talking about their hopes, ideas, support, or disapproval of the reintroduction of wolves in New Mexico and Arizona. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kunm.org\/local-news\/2024-11-08\/mexican-wolf-management-reform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(Be sure to check out Bryce Dix\u2019s story <\/a>for KUNM about the session, which Chair Richard Stump didn\u2019t attend.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comments ranged from a call to improve the genetics of the population by reintroducing more family groups, expanding the recovery area to north of Interstate 40, and allowing dispersed wolves to breed with northern gray wolf populations in Colorado \u2014 to decrying the program altogether. It was an illuminating meeting, in part because it reminded me how high emotions run when it comes to almost any discussion of wolves. The session also provided a real-time view into how a small number of people can have a great deal of control over something as existential as the presence of an entire species across a landscape. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much has been written about wolves, including around the politics of reintroduction. But one of the most interesting things I\u2019ve seen recently is from Erica Berry\u2019s excellent book, <em>Wolfish: Wolf, Self, and the Stories We Tell About Fear<\/em>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that book (which I\u2019m about halfway through), Berry explores what a wolf <strong><em>is<\/em><\/strong>, genetically as well as culturally. She writes: &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWolf as savior, wolf as mother, wolf as predator, wolf in brain. \u2018If the definition of a dog is simply a wolf that lives with humans, we have a conundrum, because different cultures define their canid companions according to their own experiences, and the question becomes, who gets to make that distinction?\u2019 write (Brandy) Fogg and (Raymond) Pierotti in <em>The First Domestication<\/em>. They argue that the boundary between wolf and dog has been porous for the last 40,000 years, when coevolutionary relationships between Indigenous people and dogs likely began. In <em>The Last Wolves of Japan<\/em>, historian and philosopher Brett Walker\u2019s chronicle of shifting Japanese perspectives around the predator, he argues that the distinction between the two canines did not calcify until cattle farming ramped up around the mid-twentieth century. That\u2019s when the Japanese government began importing wolf-killing techniques from the American west; the \u2018father of Hokkaido agriculture,\u2019 Walker notes, was an Ohio rancher who introduced strychnine to poison the region\u2019s wolves. The main thing that had changed about Japan\u2019s wolves was the economic world they existed in. Capitalism, among other things, had made the wolf a wolf.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission<\/strong> has reviewed comments and submissions about water planning.
