The Wolf Preservation Foundation (WPF) is an international non-profit organization, independent of political parties or common interests. Its role is to provide world leaders, the Council of Europe, Members of the European Parliament and political parties with what it believes to be clear factual information, status, management, and preservation needs of the wolf (Canis lupus) on the world stage.
The wolf plays an important role in the regulation and natural selection of the populations of small and large mammals. The deaths of sheep attributed to wolves can instead be laid at the door of feral dogs, not wolves. The carnage left by feral dogs, seen first hand by the Wolf Preservation Foundation, is all too often blamed on wolves. The wolf programmes are key in protecting and helping to change the attitudes of people towards the wolf, especially in Europe where only in certain pockets are there the last refuges, outside of Russia, for wild wolves.
Its Patron is Wing Commander Kenneth Horatio Wallis MBE and its President is Military Historian and Author Bruce Barrymore Halpenny.

“And life, the flicker of men and moths and the wolf on the hill,
Though furious for continuance, passionately feeding, passionately
Remaking itself upon its mates, remembers deep inward
The calm mother, the quietness of the womb and the egg,”
