The Wolf in the living room: A healing story by Julia Huffman – TEDxFargo

By Rachel Tilseth

I am a Menomonie, Wisconsin-based environmental writer, filmmaker, and owner of Wolves of Douglas County WI Films & Media. My work explores the relationships between humans, wildlife, and local ecosystems, focusing on threats to vulnerable habitats. Through independent, grassroots media, I advocate for sustainable coexistence with apex predators and educate the public on ecological economics. My award-winning short film, People & Wolves: A Story of Coexistence, won Best Documentary Short at the Red Cedar Film Festival and features insights from Dr. Jane Goodall, Ojibwa tribal members, hunters, and biologists.
