The C3 Journal
The long version of what is happening
Field reports, biologist interviews, policy fights — a monthly journal for readers on three continents. No banner ads. No sponsored posts.
What the C3 Journal is
C3 stands for the three threads we weave together in every issue: Canines, Carnivores, Conservation. It is the Center’s flagship publication — a monthly long-form journal for people who want more than a species profile and less than an academic paper.
Every issue lands in your inbox on the first of the month. A typical issue contains:
- A field report from one of our own programs (Passport to Wildlife, the Conflict Response Unit, a grant-funded study).
- An interview — a working biologist, a rancher, a policy specialist, a filmmaker, a tracker.
- A deep-dive essay on a species, an ecosystem, or a legal fight that shapes what happens to wild carnivores this year.
- A shorter piece on one of the three C’s (usually a canid, sometimes a mesopredator, occasionally a bear or big cat).
- Reading recommendations and a field-note section from the editor.

The subscription is processed as a recurring donation to a 501(c)(3) (EIN 82-0453409), which means it is tax-deductible in the United States to the extent that the benefits you receive (the journal itself) are deducted from the gift. Talk to your tax advisor if you want the details.
Who writes it
The editor is Chris Anderson. Lead science writer is WERC Staff. The rest of the masthead is a rotating bench of contributing field biologists, educators and journalists who know the carnivore beat. Guest interviews come from ranchers, tribal wildlife programs, state agencies and the occasional skeptic.
Every piece is edited for accuracy and for plainness. We have never had to retract a story in the Journal’s run.
Read a sample issue
Before you subscribe, you can read three free sample articles from recent issues. They are representative — if those three bore you, the journal will too. If they hook you, you know what to do.
