What We Are Doing

4.1

Wolves need our voice and, together, we can make a direct and meaningful difference for them. 

The Wolf Series is a part of the Wolf Project and there is so much more to come. The Wolf Project centers around creating meaningful change for one of the most polarizing apex predators in the world - the wolf. Through this project, we look to help others understand the intrinsic and economic value of keeping wolves alive and functioning apex predators in our ecosystems. In essence, this project focuses on education and science to advocate for immediate government action to devise better wolf management plans in Western Canada. 

Additional areas we are making a difference for wolves is with our Coexistence Programs, Trapped In the Past Campaign, and advocacy efforts (such as our anti-trapping letter). There are other ways you can get involved and support wolves, such as volunteering, donating, sharing your wolf stories with us, or sharing our wolf resources with your friends and family.

Watch: Trapped In the Past

4.2

Science shows us that hundreds of thousands of snares, and many other styles of traps, are set legally across the Canadian wilderness every winter to catch, hold, and kill fur-bearing animals like wolves, foxes, and lynx. 

Watch our 3-part docu-series exposing the harsh realities of the North American commercial trapping industry. With your help, we believe this series on trapping will be a game-changer in Canadian wildlife management,  opening the eyes of the world to what's going on in our forests and with our wildlife.

During this documentary, expert ex-trappers and seasoned wildlife biologists such as Gilbert Proulx, Carter Niemeyer, and Max Foran will guide you through the nuances of Canada’s commercial trapping industry. After watching, you will be equipped with the information you need to give fur-bearer animals across Canada a voice and help stop these brutal practices.

Write A Letter

4.3

We have an anti-commercial trapping letter that you can sign that will help protect wolves (and other fur-bearing animals) subjected to the inhumane and unethical practice of neck snares.

Take action to support furbearers by writing a letter to your local government representative for a call to ban snares and help be a catalyst for much-needed reform of Canada's trapping regulations. This letter allows you to express your concerns about the use of killing neck snares and the horrific suffering that these traps inflict on wild animals to your government representatives. 

Additional areas that you may want to touch on in your letter include but are not limited to: making trapline signage mandatory, increasing regulations of traplines, making trapline bycatch reporting required and publicly available, stopping trapping during denning season, and opening trapping regulation decisions to the public for feedback.

Simply click the button below, fill in your information, and send the letter. This is a quick, confidential, and effective way to act on behalf of wild fur-bearing animals right now! 

Give wolves a voice by writing and sending your call-to-action letter today.

Donate In Support of Wolves

4.4

By making a one-time donation or starting an ongoing monthly donation today, you are providing us with important resources to continue providing wolves with a voice. Donations made to the Wolf Project go towards helping to develop additional education and coexistence programs as well as ethical, humane, and science-backed management strategies. 

In the Wolf Project, current wolf management strategies, such as wolf culling, trophy hunting, buffer zones, commercial trapping, and more, will be thoroughly examined through a humane, ethical, and science-backed eye. Then, real-time solutions will be developed that can replace the archaic and unethical wolf management strategies used in Canada today.

Become a wolf ally and add your voice to the Wolf Project by donating today!

Join the Pack: Become A Volunteer

4.5

We are always looking for volunteers that want to get involved and support wolves! 

As a volunteer, you play a critical role in helping us fulfill our mission of creating meaningful and lasting change by raising awareness and appreciation of conservation issues relating to Canada’s apex predators, such as wolves.‍ Volunteering is also a great way to enhance your experience, learn new skills, progress your career, and grow your network while contributing to a cause benefiting wildlife!

Volunteer positions are mostly remote and focused in Western Canada. However, from time-to-time, there are in-person positions available, such as our trail camera network volunteers. Hours per month vary, depending on how involved you want to be and what projects, programs, and campaigns we have on the go.

If there is not a specific volunteer position open that suits your interests, please send in an application form indicating what areas that you are interested in helping with. We look forward to connecting with you and seeing what is possible!

Share Your Wolf Experiences, Images & Footage

4.6

Wolves are a misunderstood and highly polarizing species. Sharing real-life stories, experiences and video footage about wolves is essential to dispelling myths and misconceptions. We welcome experiences, images, and video footage (trail camera videos or otherwise) of wolves to share in our educational programs and our outreach and communication efforts. Credit will also be given to the photographer, videographer, and storyteller unless you designate otherwise. 

‍To submit a story, photo, or video, send us an email at submissions@exposedwc.org. If your file is larger than what your email host will allow, try a cloud service like WeTransfer or Google Drive to submissions@exposedwc.org.
