Our Founder

A lifelong advocate for wildlife, Shaunna founded The Big Bad Project after years of volunteering her time working with wolves. Their story of misunderstanding showed her that deeper issues fueling conflict must be addressed. 

Her work is driven by a passion for interpretation, bringing people closer to conservation, opening the door to coexistence, and inspiring others to take action. Through her speaking on conservation, interpretation, and leadership, she invites audiences to reimagine what change looks like and to take an active role in shaping it.  

Shaunna’s goal is always the same: to leave people inspired, empowered, and ready to carry that change forward. 

Coexistence happens when we stop fighting nature and start learning from it. Living with wildlife shouldn't be about control, it should be about respect. We need to stop dreaming about it and start making daily choices that lead to a better future.

Tiberius

Tiberius, affectionately referred to as "Tibbi", is playful, curious, and always ready for his next adventure. He loves long walks, splashing in puddles, digging in the mud, and exploring new places. Full of energy and personality, Tibbi helps people connect with wolves on a personal level, showing that even the “big bad” can be affectionate, sensitive, and full of heart.

Wyatt

Wyatt is calm, observant, and happiest in familiar surroundings, especially when she finds a sunny spot to stretch out and relax. She is curious but careful, always tuned in to her environment. Wyatt reminds us that wolves are individuals with unique personalities, preferences, and boundaries, each teaching us something different about what coexistence really means.
