Wolf Preservation Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wolf Preservation Foundation (WPF) is an international non-profit organization, independent of political parties or common interests. Its role is to provide world leaders, the Council of Europe, Members of the European Parliament and political parties with what it believes to be clear factual information, status, management, and preservation needs of the wolf (Canis lupus) on the world stage.

The wolf plays an important role in the regulation and natural selection of the populations of small and large mammals. The deaths of sheep attributed to wolves can instead be laid at the door of feral dogs, not wolves. The carnage left by feral dogs, seen first hand by the Wolf Preservation Foundation, is all too often blamed on wolves.[1] The wolf programmes are key in protecting and helping to change the attitudes of people towards the wolf, especially in Europe where only in certain pockets are there the last refuges, outside of Russia, for wild wolves.[2]

Its Patron is Wing Commander Kenneth Horatio Wallis MBE and its President is Military Historian and Author Bruce Barrymore Halpenny.

Wolf Preservation Foundation Manifesto

Goals of the Wolf Preservation Foundation include:

  • Stop the killing of Wolves and see that countries implement strict legal protection for Wolves that migrate from neighbouring countries; press for legalization to require the registration of each wolf killed and, to state: How, Where, Why and by Whom.
  • See that countries who have signed at the Berne Convention carryout what they have signed to do regarding the wolf.
  • See that the WPF preservation and management policies are carried out and study the possibility to restore wolves as natural predators into what was once their native habitat.
  • To demythologise and promote a better understanding of the Wolf.
  • See that controls are put on feral dogs in order to stop the spread of disease and interbreeding with wolves, for there is a possibility they will wipe out the Grey Wolf, unless urgent action is taken.[3]
