Wolf Education and Research Center

Our mission is to provide advocacy for wild wolf recovery and cultivate a greater collaboration between human industries and lifestyles that intersect with recovery and conservation efforts.  aving cared for the Sawtooth Pack: Wolves of the Nez Perce since 1996, the Wolf Education & Research Center (WERC), the Idaho based nonprofit became a voice of education on the subject of captive wolf care, important ecology considerations, and the delicate harmony between human recreation, industry, and cultures and the vast wilderness that is home to many apex predators, among them wolves. Wolves are an iconic species that WERC uses to teach about these important contemporary issues with the backdrop of the history, benefits, and threats to all predators. Welcome.
