Mission
EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT MINNESOTA'S WOLF POPULATION. HFW advocates for wolves and wildlife protections and advocates for environmental stewardship, including wildlife habitat.
Program accomplishments
- Howling For Wolves 2024 Activities Throughout 2024 HFW communicated through social media, website and emails news on wolves and joined the Endangered Species Coalition to advocate for wolves and other wildlife. HFW participated in media interviews and assisted with letter writing by supporters to oppose campaigns to hunt wolves. HFW educates the public on the benefits of a healthy wolf population on wildlife and habitat, including birds and water. HFW informs the public about the severe negative consequences of wolf hunts with potential for unpredictable effects such as increasing wolf conflicts. HFW educates on wolf/deer issues including the need for predators to control the spread of disease in wild deer. HFW conversed with MN USDA Wildlife Services to promote nonlethal methods with specific livestock producers. HFW continued the Wolf Forgiveness Bonus Program to pay farmers who experienced probable wolf conflicts (usually with calves) for their trouble and in exchange for them not having the wolf baited trapped and killed.HFW interacted with multiple agencies and NGO representatives to inform about the wolf hunts history and adverse effects.HFW'sdirector presented at the Great Lakes Wolf Conference in WI in Oct 2024. HFW presented the peer reviewed publication and data (Nature Scientific Reports) on the effects of wolf hunting on wolf mortality. The increase in wolfmortality is dramatic and persists for years after the hunts end. The data showed a more than doubling of overall wolf mortality (approx. 20% to 43%) and more than tripling of human caused wolf deaths increasing from 10% to 35%.
