About This Cause

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. In the 1960s and 70s, millions of children grew up glued to the television when Marlin Perkins invited them on a weekly journey across the world during “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.” The beloved zoologist was the original celebrity wildlife expert, connecting kids to amazing animals in their native habitats. In 1971, Marlin and his wife, Carol turned their attention toward one endangered animal in particular – the wolf. They joined with a group of individuals to found the Endangered Wolf Center to address the serious plight of wolves at risk of extinction. Through carefully managed breeding programs, inspiring educational programs, and innovative methods for introducing releasable wolves into their native habitats, our Center set out to change the fate of endangered canids. And for more than 50 years, we’ve been doing just that. Today, our nonprofit organization is considered the cornerstone of wolf conservation in America. In fact, every Mexican gray wolf in the wild can trace his or her roots back to our Center.
