As all wolves do, they face the dangers of humans, but not as much as the other species and subspecies do. Since they can live so far north, they hardly every come within contact of human life. Althogh other dangers they face are the freezing temperatures, they are adapted to below freezing temperatures and are usually well guarded against such coldness. One of the major dangers, however, is the lack of food in the arctic.

The most dangerous thing to timber wolves currently is hunters in North America. Timber wolves have recently been removed from the list of protected species under American law, so can again be hunted legally for pelts or to protect livestock or increase numbers in prey populations such as deer. In the natural world there is little or no threat to timber wolves, but in other parts of the world such as Asia, wolves are threatened by hunters also, as there is no protection in place. In Europe there is protection for wolves, but there is poaching nevertheless. In some European countries wolves are considered a species that can be hunted, like game. However the most threatened wolf is currently the wolves in Northern America, being the timber or grey wolf. It is threatened by hunters or stock herders who think that killing wolves is the easiest and most effective option for reducing the threat of wolves to their livestock.

one of the dangers that wolves face is that the land they live in is getting tron down and they have to come onto land that has a lot of humans and humans start freaking out and shoot them not thinking that they just don't have anywhere to go.

Not usually. In fact history notes several tales of wolves suckling human babies as their own.
