We spent most of the year 2001 raising our cubs and developing our site (with private funding) and only started facing the public in December 2001 when we began the process of building membership and making contact with overseas conservation projects which we now raise funds for.

Within the Society, the core group - which runs our site and looks after our wolves - operates on a consent and majority basis; a bit like a family. There is no rank within the Society; there are no 'job-titles', no 'managers', no committees and no politics. There is a special place in our Society for ideology - it is round, about 18 inches high and emptied twice a week. We have a company resolution that states that we will not compromise the cause of wolf conservation by indulging in competetive, abusive or defamatory behaviour towards other wolf conservation groups (even though some indulge in it regularly against each other and occasionally against us as well). Our site is manned and the wolves watched over 24 hours a day.
