Wildlife Conservation Network
The Painted Wolf Foundation and Wildlife Conservation Network have worked in partnership to develop a conservation strategy to support the painted wolf, modelled closely on their highly effective wildlife funds, such as the Lion Recovery Fund.
In 2021, the Painted Wolf Foundation partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) to develop a theory of change that would lead to a realistic stabilisation of the population of the species in the short term, and to a medium term recovery in their numbers.
WCN were considered the ideal partner, with two decades experience of protecting endangered wildlife by supporting conservationists who ensure wildlife and people coexist and thrive.
In recent years they have launched a number of species-wide Wildlife Funds which include the Elephant Crisis Fund, the Lion Recovery Fund, the Pangolin Crisis Fund and more recently the Rhino Recovery Fund.
WCN and the Painted Wolf Foundation continue to explore opportunities to develop the partnership and their strategy to secure the future of the painted wolf.
