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.

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and a little child shall lead them.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Isaiah 11:6.
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
