A Message from Our Executive Director, Fred Gauna
The Endangered Wolf Center is honored to host the American Red Wolf SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) Meeting this July, uniting wildlife managers, biologists and zoo professionals from around the nation to advance conservation initiatives for American Red Wolves, both in managed care and their natural habitats.
Despite their crucial role in ecosystem dynamics, Red Wolves face shockingly low numbers due to human impact, habitat loss, and lack of awareness and understanding.
As authorities in conservation and education for wolves, we have a responsibility to press onward in our mission, implement new strategies, and collaborate with our partners to ensure this species’ survival.
Organizing and hosting such a conference is a huge undertaking, and we need your help to make it a success. Help us raise $50,000 to support American Red Wolves by providing funds that will:
- Support the American Red Wolf SAFE Meeting
- Help us bolster genetic diversity for Red Wolves through innovative technology and conservation techniques
- Help our Animal Care team conduct veterinary exams for our 16 resident Red Wolves
Please join our efforts to save this iconic, all-American wolf by making a donation toward our goal today. Your generosity helps preserve and protect American Red Wolves and keeps the heart of the wild beating.
With gratitude,
Fred Gauna
Executive Director
How Your Support Helps American Red Wolves
Why Red Wolves?
There are estimated to be fewer than 20 in the wild, making American Red Wolves the most endangered wolf in the world. We don’t want it to be that way.
Fear and misunderstanding have made it difficult for American Red Wolves to rebound after their populations were decimated in the 1920s. Though they once were found throughout the southeastern United States, today they occupy less than 1% of their native range and the only Red Wolves left in the wild are on the coast of North Carolina.
American Red Wolves have called the EWC home since 1981
American Red Wolf pups have been born and raised at the EWC
American Red Wolves from the EWC have been released to the wilds of North Carolina
By working together with accredited zoos and conservationists around the nation, we can give Red Wolves the best chance to rebound and thrive.
