The work

What they do

Wolf education and advocacy in the Greater Yellowstone. Field programs, wolf watching, and advocacy for wolf protections.

Every year they sign one sentence and file it with the federal government: “TO PROTECT & DEFEND THE WOLVES OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK AND THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS BY ADVOCATING AND EDUCATING, AND GATHERING WOLF ADVOCATES WORLDWIDE TO CONSOLIDATE OUR VOICES INTO A FORCE THAT WILL INFLUENCE THE PROTECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF WOLVES THAT CALL THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS THEIR HOME.”
