WOLF SONG OF ALASKA
Friends
Alaska. What do I think about when I think of Alaska. Snow? Mountains? Glaciers? Rivers? Different cultures? Different languages? Or even Bush pilots?
Yes, all of these images enter my mind, and each of them constantly stimulates my imagination. But what I think about most is the abundance of wildlife in Alaska, especially wolves. Yes, wolves! I love and appreciate the wolves, and I want to learn all I can about this magnificent wild canid predator, Canis lupus.
As I fulfilled my constant desire to learn
more about wolves, I quickly learned that their mere existence and ongoing
plight is not at all what one might imagine. Wolves do not have a amicable
relationship with humans. Wolves are predators, they are often feared,
often misunderstood, they compete with humans for food and they usually suffer
the consequences of human ignorance, misinformation and fears that have
withstood the tests of time.
Fortunately, I was introduced to Wolf Song
of Alaska, an internationally-acclaimed, not-for-profit organization that
focuses on wolf education, science and public awareness. Their programs
are apolitical, and their main objective is to provide technically-correct
information while dispelling misinformation about not only wolves, but all wild
canids.
If you are not already familiar with this world-class organization, I can only encourage you to visit their web site at:
Wolf Song of Alaska has the most expansive
and comprehensive web site about wolves on the internet. Most, if not all
of your questions about wolves can be readily answered by visiting this
exceptional site. You can truly "experience the wolf". A
visitor can learn about the wolf's natural history, its varied relationship to
humans throughout the ages, and its role as a major symbol in human folklore,
myths, legends, art and religion.
Visitors can learn about wolves in
general, pack behaviors, predator and prey relationships, and about the
precarious relationship that exists between wolves and humans.
I can only encourage you to become
involved in Wolf Song of Alaska's programs, and to offer your support to allow
them to continue their highly visible and successful educational programs.
Become a member, give a gift membership to a family friend, relative or co-worker. Adopt a wolf, or give a gift wolf adoption. Make a donation. And be sure to visit Wolf Song of Alaska's "Alaska Wolf Cache" gift shop, accessible on their web site. All of your purchases will support Wolf Song of Alaska's educational programs and projects.
To demonstrate my support for Wolf Song of
Alaska, I have agreed to donate a portion of the proceeds of my book
"Whirly Girl 530" to Wolf Song of Alaska.
