Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals, Protection of Endangered Species, Wildlife Preservation & Protection, Wildlife Sanctuaries
Mission: The Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), founded in 1999 by Hélène Grimaud, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit environmental education organization located in South Salem, NY. Our mission is to advance the survival of wolves by inspiring a global community through education, advocacy, research, and recovery. By providing science-based education programming with Ambassador wolves, we allow wolves and humans to better coexist, improve our efforts to successfully restore endangered wolves to their ancestral homes in the wild, and encourage a philosophy of respect for all living things. The WCC also participates in the Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) program and Recovery Plan for two critically endangered wolf species, the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) and the red wolf (Canis rufus). As the pre-eminent facility in the eastern United States for the captive breeding and pre-release of endangered wolf species, the WCC aims to become the National model in SAFE standards and train other SAFE institutions to expand our mission impact and results.
Target demographics: We see a world where vibrant populations of wolves roam wild landscapes across the continent; where no species of wolf cowers on the edge of extinction; and where every child learns of, and respects, these essential creatures.
Geographic areas served: The WCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental education organization committed to conserving wolf populations in North America.
Programs: Our mission is to advance the survival of wolves by inspiring a global community through education, advocacy, research, and recovery. Through wolves the WCC teaches the broader message of conservation, ecological balance, and personal responsibility for improved human stewardship of our World. In addition to offering science-based education programming to children and adults alike, the WCC participates in the federal Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) programs for the critically endangered Mexican gray wolf and red wolf and mobilizes support for these misunderstood and at-risk predators.
