American Wolf Foundation
The American Wolf Foundation was founded in 2018 by Rachel Guthrie. As a child, she wanted to be a veterinarian but after learning about the plight of the
Red wolf she decided she needed to act. She set up the American Wolf Foundation in her hometown of Missouri in the hope that her daughter would be able to
hear the characteristic howl of Red wolves in her lifetime. Today, the charity works to unite key stakeholders to ensure conflict-free conservation for all wolf species in America.
