In action today
- The beautiful, elusive Ethiopian wolf
The Bale Mountains is the last stronghold of the Ethiopian wolf. The slender wolf is the world’s rarest canid and they depend on the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme, funded by Born Free. The team vaccinates local dogs to prevent disease, monitors the wolves, and runs education programmes. Born Free also funds wolf conservation in Israel and helps rescue wolves in need. The main threat to the wolf’s survival in many parts of the world is the perceived and sometimes threat they present to livestock and Born Free humanely resolves conflict between wolves and livestock owners. Meanwhile, wolves suffer badly in captivity and our work to highlight their suffering in zoos continues.
Current wolf projects
