The Living with Wolves project aims to minimise impact of threats that affect the wolves’ welfare, directly though mortality or indirectly through disturbance and stress. These threats are emerging or increasing as the lives of people and wolves become more closely linked.

Our support will help the EWCP team to identify these threats, learn and integrate new approaches, and engage our partners to affect behavioural change on the local communities and visitors. If we can reduce these sources of disturbances, the wolves will live longer and better lives.

Specifically, the funds will help
- expand EWCP Wolf Ambassadors initiative in North Ethiopia to communities across the Bale Mountains
- support the ongoing field activities of EWCP Wolf Monitors in Bale – first line of defence in the early detection of disease, and the identification of disturbances and other human-wolf conflicts
- maintain community outreach campaigns orchestrated through the EWCP Community Leader and Veterinary Teams
- maintain competitive salaries to support field teams in the context of ongoing conflict and political unrest across Ethiopia.
