Wolves: Photography by Ronan Donovan

Since 2014, Ronan Donovan, a National Geographic Explorer and photographer, has examined the relationship between wild wolves and humans in order to better understand the animals, our shared history, and what drives the persistent human-wolf conflict.

This moving exhibition features Ronan Donovan’s striking images and videos of wild wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Ellesmere Island in the high Canadian Arctic. “Wolves: Photography by Ronan Donovan”, created by National Geographic Society and the National Museum of Wildlife Art, highlights the contrast between wolves that live in perceived competition with humans, in the Yellowstone area, and wolves that live without human intervention, in the Canadian Arctic. As wolves in North America are increasingly under threat due to recent extreme wolf-control laws, and humans continue to impinge on the land and food sources that these animals need to survive, Donovan’s compelling photographs inspire a better understanding of these often misunderstood animals.

This exhibition is presented in partnership with the National Geographic Society and the National Museum of Wildlife Art, and supported through the patronship of Jacques Marie Mage.
