Let's talk about wolves.

Almost wherever they roam, wolves attract controversy.

Today, Europe is home to more wolves than at any point in modern history, and although the UK remains a wolf-free zone, their growing presence on the Continent provides a valuable window into our own willingness to embrace a wildlife comeback.

In Episode #2 of At the Edge, Peter Cairns speaks to author Adam Weymouth and journalist Annick Hus, about what wolves are, both in reality and in our imaginations.
