| Education vs. Extinction |

| As Mission:Wolf evolves
more of our effort and expense is focused on public education. Day after
day we meet people who have never seen a live wolf and who often retreat
instinctualy with fear upon meeting one up close. With knowledge and a
personal experience any fear is easily overcome and often transformed
into compassion. |

It has become our job and lifelong journey to help wild wolves through public education. It has also become clear that all of the lectures, films, photos, and books combined do not compare to a personal encounter with a live wolf. Today Mission:Wolf is fueled by a public demand for people to touch, feel, smell, hear and taste nature. It has become our greatest gift to help not only wolves, but people as well by providing individuals a personal experience. Educational Experiences Group Field Trips and Campouts: With advance notice Mission:Wolf will provide a staff volunteer that will offer a group tour of the refuge. Community service projects are also available. A group encounter with an ambassador wolf will be offered when possible. Bring an Ambassador Wolf Program to your town: The ambassador wolf program reaches thousand of people across the United states each year. The wolf program is in high demand and request are handled on a first come first served basis. Tours to the Western U.S. are in the Spring. Tours to the Eastern U.S. are in the Fall. Wild Wolf Experiences: A few years ago it was nearly impossible to see wild wolves anywhere in the U.S. Today wild wolves reside in twelve states and efforts are underway to return them to several others. For the first time in generations any individual with a bit of patience and the ability to travel may gain a personal experience with a wild animal. Expert guides provide education while leading people across wild habitat in search of wildlife. Feed a Wolf and become a Wolf Caretaker:Our membership program supports the food bill for the resident wolves and provides caretakers a quality color photograph of their chosen wolf. Newsletters provide updates on the refuge and wild wolf recovery. |
