Ethiopian Wolves Conservation Programme

The Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme  (EWCP) was founded in 1995 by Claudio Sillero, Edriss Ebu, and Karen Laurenson, building on research undertaken on the previous decade and a realisation that these animals were so rare and threatened that they required a special programme to secure their persistence.

Today EWCP is recognised as a world leader in the field of carnivore conservation.

Coordinators Jorgelina Marino & Claudio Sillero
