Isle Royale Wolf Transfer - Emergency Action

URGENT NEED:   Due to the US Government shutdown, the planned early January Isle Royale Wolf transfer project had to be cancelled.   There was significant coordination time, money and energy all lost.
It's imperative the wolves get moved within the next few weeks. 

Wolves are being moved from Michipicoton Island in Ontario, where there are low food sources, to Isle Royale, where they must adapt to their new location in time for early spring mating season.

The National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation(NPLSF) has worked hard to get approval to temporarily open Isle Royale and complete the wolf transfer.    This requires non-government funding.   NPLSF has guaranteed that funding.   ** Even with the US Government opening for 3 weeks, this project is needed to make this transfer "shutdown proof", and have all green lights! **

However, we need your help to cover that cost.  The whole project costs total is $50,000.    Some of the amazing logistics include two separate helicopter teams, capturing wolves, transporting, releasing, monitoring - all in a winter wilderness environment.

Can you help save the Michipicoton wolves and help them find love on Isle Royale?


Your donation is tax-deductible.  Any donations more that our goal will go towards additional wolf expenses including research.

The National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation  (NPLSF) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to preservation of the natural resources and unique cultural heritage of Lake Superior’s five U.S. National Parks.  NPLSF funds research, restoration, education, and resource protection projects for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Grand Portage National Monument, Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw National Historic Park, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.  The National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation has a proven record of funding projects both large and small providing more that $1.5 million in funding across all five parks.



Maybe the WDFW Professional Wolf Management team could assist in this. 


Wolves from Canada to the US. Oh that's right it has never happened.

I’d be happy to help end the starvation of the beautiful innocent wolves

What a crock

[Dan-o]

The island already has documented wolf population.

I wonder how this is supposed to help?

We could fund a relocation to San Juan island.

I would gladly donate to relocation efforts to San Jaun Island. If they want to get them from a closer location I'll also volunteer to drive them there!

Isle Royale has been a wolf experiment for years. Not really going to impact much of anything. It’s a national park also.

No Impact? The wolves will kill about everything that walks the island, then a bunch of wolves will die off from starvation because of low prey base, the prey will rebound and the cycle will start over agin. Wolves will inbreed, etc. and at some point a new wolf rescue will have to be performed by the same  idiots that are doing the rescue now. Waste of $$$.

If I remember right this is the island that the BS study on the "balance of nature" was fudged.

[jackelope]

No impact meaning it’s not going to affect anything outside the island. 

That island has been a giant science experiment for how long now? The damage is already done.

[jackelope]

60 ish years is the answer. Wolves and moose have been monitored and studied on that island for 60 years.

Here you go, @Dan-o     The wolves have all but died on Isle Royale. And the moose population is projected to double. Weird.
