Wolf Conservation
Wolf Haven International is committed to advancing knowledge about wolves, and instructs thousands of people annually on wolf ecology and the importance of maintaining a balanced ecosystem, complete with top predators. This type of education dispels many myths surrounding wolves and is vital to promoting human acceptance of them. From dispelling misinformation surrounding wolves to the false impression that they make good pets, Wolf Haven promotes understanding of this often misunderstood keystone predator. Science-based knowledge also empowers wolf supporters to speak out for wolves with their legislators.
Wolf Haven was a member of the Wolf Working Group that provided recommendations to WDFW as they developed the Washington Wolf Conservation and Management Plan. This plan was approved and adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission in 2011. The state plan is applicable across all of Washington state, regardless of if wolves are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act or not. Wolf Haven also serves as a member of the Wolf Advisory Group, tasked with advising WDFW on the implementation of the adopted wolf management plan.
