Our vision is a world where endangered wolves and other wild canids exist and thrive in their native habitats, recognized and valued for their vital roles as leading members of a healthy ecosystem.
The EWC has over 50 years of proven success as a conservation center founded by a visionary education himself, Marlin Perkins of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and his wife, Carol. In addition, we maintained our prestigious certification from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, awarded to fewer than 10% of those with animals in their care.
Our mission is to preserve and protect Mexican wolves, red wolves and other wild canid species, with purpose and passion, through carefully managed breeding, reintroduction and inspiring education programs.
Nature depends on apex predators and keystone species to survive and thrive. Wolves are both, which is why the wild needs wolves - and why we need you.
Did you know? Every Mexican wolf in the wild today can trace his or her roots back to the Endangered Wolf Center.
