Wolf numbers in Minnesota reached an all-time high of about 2,600,
and visitors to the Minnesota-based International Wolf Center's
Web site learned about wolves around the world in record numbers,
with over 16 million hits in 2001.
In it's photo-filled 2001 annual report, the Center noted the year's
wolf news as well as highlights of the organization's work. The
year brought challenges associated with economic recession and success
from introducing a new children's exhibit and a sophisticated on-line
curriculum. The popular new Little Wolf exhibit in Ely features
a child-sized wolf den and interactive games. Workshops around the
state introduced teachers to the on-line "Gray Wolf, Gray Matter"
curriculum throughout the year.
In one major highlight for 2001, Smithsonian Magazine and the United
States Tour Operators Association named the Wolf Center as winner
of a $25,000 conservation award recognizing the Center's role in
preserving the environment and its resources.
Although revenues fell below budgeted forecasts in 2001, the organization
carefully controlled expenses and generated revenue of $1,375,676
from memberships, donations, educational programs, retail and museum
attendance.
Visitors to the web at www.wolf.org will find annual report data,
photos and wolf status updates on the Center's easily navigated
800-page site. Look under Support Wolf Survival, 2001 Annual Report.
The International Wolf Center advances the survival of wolf populations
by teaching about the wolf's life, its relationship to wild lands
and the human role in its future.
