The Woman Who Lived Among Wolves: Diane Boyd

In this episode we meet pioneering wolf biologist and author Diane Boyd who talks about her extraordinary four decades studying wolves in the remote wilderness of Montana near Glacier National Park.
In the 1970s she was the only female biologist in the United States researching and radio-collaring wild wolves. With her two dogs for company she faced the rigours of the Montana winter in an isolated cabin without running water or electricity.
In our conversation we discuss what wolves are really like, how wolf packs function, the myths and fears surrounding these animals, and the dramatic return of wolves to the American West. Diane also shares stories of tracking wolves through deep snow, living off-grid in bear country, and the challenges of balancing conservation with human conflict.
The conversation is based around Diane’s memoir, A Woman Among Wolves — a fascinating account of life spent among one of nature’s most misunderstood predators.
