I write from Bogotá. We do not have wolves here — we have spectacled bears, andean foxes, jaguars further down. But the conversation you are having about wolves in the American West is the same conversation we are having about jaguars on the llanos.
The questions are the same: how do ranchers stay whole, how do agencies stay honest, who pays for coexistence when the work is hardest. I read your C3 journal as if it were written about Casanare. The vocabulary you use — non-lethal tools, range riders, depredation accounting — has found its way into Spanish-language conservation papers I have helped translate. I just wanted you to know.
