 and political parties with 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. 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.

Wolf Preservation Foundation Manifesto

• Stop the killing of Wolves and see that countries implement strict legal protection for Wolves that migrate from neighbouring countries; press for legalisation to require the registration of each Wolf killed and, to state: How, Where, Why and by Whom.

• See that countries who have signed the Berne Convention
  Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats
  The Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats 1979, also known as the Bern Convention , came into force on June 1, 1982....
  
  RECOMMENDATION No:17 (1989) OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON THE PROTECTION OF THE WOLF (Canis lupus) IN EUROPE – carryout what they have signed to do regarding the Wolf. Signing the convention does not mean that animals and habitats are in safe hands … far from it. Out of the eight contracting parties that find Wolves in their territories, three have made reservations under the terms of Article 22 of the convention, which in practise means that the most important populations of Wolf in Western Europe do not benefit from the protection accorded by Article 6 of the convention.

• See that the WPF Wolf 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.
