This elegant, long-legged wolf is only found in the mountains of Ethiopia, where no more than 500 survive in scattered populations threatened by habitat loss and disease.
Ethiopian wolves are the guardians of the roof of Africa. By protecting them we safeguard many fascinating Afroalpine endemics from extinction.
programme - goals
In the historic city of Lalibela a strategic plan was agreed in 2011, setting the priorities for Ethiopian wolf conservation in the next 10 years. These goals are our guide and motivation.
All existing Ethiopian wolf populations secured, not at risk of immediate extinction, with genetic diversity maintained, and the number of wolf packs increased
Ethiopian wolves actively managed as a metapopulation, including wherever possible the restoration of wolves to available habitat within their historical range
Afroalpine habitats protected from further degradation, conserved, and restored
Coexistence of wolves, people and their livestock fostered throughout the species’ range
All stakeholders, especially decision makers at the national, regional, and local levels, involved in, and committed to conserving wolves and their habitat
Mechanisms developed to fairly share, across generations, the costs and benefits of wolf and Afroalpine conservation.
