The Case for Coexistence

Year-End Appeal

Your support is what makes it possible.

Help build a future where
people, wolves, and all wildlife
thrive together.

Donate Now!

For nearly 50 years, the California Wolf Center has championed the return of wolves to the West
and fostered understanding between humans and the predators who shape our ecosystems.

Today, as wolves once again move across California’s landscapes, one truth has become clear:
Coexistence is no longer optional – It’s essential and it begins with all of us.

Your year-end gift will fuel the education, outreach, care and community-building that make wolf conservation possible.

The California Wolf Center began in the 1970s with a small group of conservationists who believed that California’s wild places could once again echo with the howl of the wolf.

Decades later, because of persistent work and the support of people like you, that belief is becoming a reality.

A legacy of hope

Generations of community members and students alike have learned the science and compassion behind coexistence.

Our resident wolves have inspired thousands showing what a thriving landscape truly looks like.

Your support continues that legacy and will help shape the next 50 years.

Wolves bred at our Center are helping to restore an endangered population.

The Pup Who Changed Everything

In the late-1990s, one tiny Mexican gray wolf pup was born at the California Wolf Center.

Months later, she would step into the wild as part of a historic reintroduction effort helping rebuild a population once on the brink of extinction.

Her howl, carried across a landscape where wolves had been missingfor decades, became a symbol of possibility.

That possibility still lives on– your gift today keeps it alive!

Sustaining a future through coexistence

As the year comes to a close, your support ensures that the California Wolf Center enters 2026 ready to lead, educate, care and inspire.

Your generosity today supports greater understanding of the importance of wolf conservation. Sustainable and ever more healthier ecosystems lead to a California where both people and predators thrive as one.
