The Wolf Conservation Center teaches people about wolves, their relationship to the environment and the human role in protecting their future. Founded by Hélène Grimaud in 1999, the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit environmental education organization working to protect and preserve wolves in North America through science-based education, advocacy, and participation in the federal recovery and release programs for two critically endangered wolf species - the Mexican gray wolf and red wolf. The WCC's three 'ambassador wolves' reside on exhibit where they help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment. Through wolves, the WCC teaches the broader message of conservation, ecological balance, and personal responsibility for improved human stewardship of our World.

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

We are a nonprofit that operates a wildlife hospital and education center. In 2023, we utilized our hospital space to accept hundreds of wild animals that had become sick, injured, or orphaned. Our team of wildlife rehabilitators and volunteers worked together to provide field rescue, rehabilitation, and release services to a wide range of wild birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. In fact, our team provided expert care to over 70 different species of wild animals. However, saving lives comes at a cost. With $3,500 a month in hospital rent alone, we need all the help we can get to fund our important wildlife conservation efforts!
