Restoring Balance: Support Wolf and Human Harmony in Texas

This fundraiser is organized by Texas Lobo Coalition.

Tax deductible

Imagine the wild landscapes of West Texas, where the echo of a wolf’s howl once defined the night. The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), a vital part of our natural heritage, once roamed these lands freely. However, by the mid-20th century, these wolves were extirpated from Texas due to hunting, habitat loss, and government-sponsored predator control programs. Today, the Texas Lobo Coalition (TLC) is dedicated to working hand-in-hand with local communities to ensure that these wolves can return to their rightful place, while also respecting the livelihoods and safety of those who live here.

Our Mission

At TLC, our goal is to restore the Mexican Gray Wolf to its historic range in West Texas through collaboration and careful planning. We recognize the concerns of landowners, ranchers, and hunters, and we are committed to addressing these concerns with sensitivity and respect. We believe that by working together, we can find solutions that allow wolves and humans to coexist peacefully.

Why This Matters

The Mexican Gray Wolf, or "lobo," plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem. As top predators, wolves help control populations of prey animals like deer, which in turn supports a healthier and more diverse environment. Additionally, by naturally reducing coyote populations, wolves can help lower the pressure on smaller prey species and livestock.

But beyond their ecological role, these wolves are a symbol of Texas’ wild spirit—a reminder of the natural beauty and biodiversity that once flourished in our state. By reintroducing the Mexican Gray Wolf, we aim to restore not just a species, but a part of our state’s identity.

Your Impact

Every dollar you donate will be doubled thanks to a generous $5000 match from a committed supporter. That means your $50 donation becomes $100, your $100 becomes $200, and so on. This is a unique opportunity to make a big impact with a small contribution.

Your funds will go towards:

Education and Awareness: We will develop and distribute educational materials to schools and communities, focusing on the Mexican Gray Wolf’s role in Texas’ history and ecosystem, and how we can coexist with them.

Community Collaboration: We will engage directly with local communities to understand their concerns, address issues such as depredation and competition, and work together to develop strategies that ensure the safety and prosperity of both people and wolves.

Join Us in Building a Future of Coexistence

By supporting the Texas Lobo Coalition, you’re joining a movement that seeks to restore balance to our state’s natural environment while respecting the needs of those who live here. You’re not just helping wolves; you’re helping to create a future where wildlife and human communities thrive together.

And remember, every donation is matched, so your contribution has twice the impact.

Together, we can ensure that the howl of the Mexican Gray Wolf once again echoes through the canyons and mountains of West Texas, in harmony with the lives of the people who call this place home. Please donate today and share our mission with others who care about preserving both the wild spirit of Texas and the well-being of its communities.
