Friends of the Wolf is a conservation group devoted
exclusively to the protection of Wolves and Wolf habitat. We
are a biocentric group, representing the Wolf for its own
inherent value as a Wild spieces. As a highly specialized and
uncompromising voice, we offer the best hope for the long
term survival of the Wolf.
Friends of the Wolf (FOW) was founded in 1984 to halt the
slaughter of Wolves in British Columbia. In the winter of
1992, news broke out of the Yukon government's plan to
shoot 150 of 200 wolves by helicopter in the Aishihik
region. Friends of the Wolf was reactivated, and rushed north
to carry out non-violent direct action on behalf of the Wolf.
Friends of the Wolf are now here to stay. We will fight the
Wolf's three main threats: government Wolf-control programs,
Wolf bounties, and the elimination of Wolf habitat. Our
struggle represents an opportunity to save one of the
ecosystem's most important predators and set aside habitat
which will not only help the Wolf, but other species who share
the ecosystem as well.
