National Wolf Awareness Week - Oct 15-21 2006
October 15 - 21, 2006 marks National Wolf Awareness Week. This week is an important vehicle for dispelling misconceptions and educating the public about the role predators play in maintaining biological diversity.
The wolf is a striking symbol of wild nature, yet they have long been shrouded by myth and superstition. Earlier this century, this keystone species was methodically exterminated from nearly all of its historic range.
Wolf Awareness Week encourages conservation efforts not only for wolves, but for all wild species. Defenders sponsors events nationwide to celebrate wolves during the third week of October.
We encourage you to plan educational activities in your area. Contact Gina Schrader with the event details so we can help promote your event on this website.
