About
The Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP) was founded in 1995 by Claudio Sillero and Karen Laurenson and is recognized as a world leader in carnivore conservation. It is a partnership between the University of Oxford's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) and the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority.
The Ethiopian wolf is Africa's most threatened and rarest carnivore, with only about 500 surviving in isolated mountain populations. EWCP engages in monitoring, research, vaccination programs, community engagement, and conservation translocations. Their Guassa gardens program spreads native grass species to provide food and shelter for rodents, boosting prey availability for wolves.
