International Wolf Center

Where science meets wonder—advancing wolf understanding through education

The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.

Celebrating nearly 40 years of Wolf Education

The International Wolf Center has been the trusted source for wolf education and research. We're not advocates or opponents, we are educators and scientists. Through our world-class exhibits in Ely and our ambassador wolf pack, we bring people care-to-face with wolves in a way that transforms understanding. Our online programs reach global audiences and welcomes all communities to get a better understanding of the value of wolves in an ecosystem.

Our Best Educators - the Ambassador Wolves

Wolves are more than wildlife. They are teachers. They show us how ecosystems work, how predators shape landscapes, and how misunderstanding can threaten an entire species. When you support the International Wolf Center, you're not just helping wolves. You're creating a generation of people who understand their place in nature and value the wild world around them.

The Exhibit Pack lives in a 1.25-acre habitat with two dens, a filtered pond, and forested area to roam. Our Wolf Care tram provides year-round care, daily health checks, and veterinary support. The team collects valuable data that contributes to wolf research on behavior, genetics, and monitoring technology. Your gift helps maintain the Ely enclosure and ensures each ambassador wolf receives the best possible care—today and for future packmates.
