Project Description
Lupus laetus was created to help Russian wolves that live in difficult environment. It financially supports the orphan wolf pups rehabilitation program, collecting money to feed wolves, equip them with GPS collar, and build an information centre.
We plan to open a wolf education centre. Last summer the work of 20 volunteers transformed the old destroyed school in an almost-ready-wolf-centre. Some work remains, especially the outside of the building.
Situated 400km north-west of Moscow, the area is lost in the middle of the taiga. Around 80% of the area is covered by unspoiled forest with few roads. In the Tver region, in the district of Toropets is the Biological Station Chisty Les, “clean forest”. Part of the Central Forest Nature Reserve, the Station was founded in 1985 by the famous biologist Valentin Pazhetnov, so as to shelter his orphan bear cubs before rehabilitation. Since then, a 35-km2 protected area surrounds the Station which has become a well-known place of study of large carnivores.
