How a Wolf Sanctuary in California Is Proving That Restoration Works
Wolf Connection reports some of the most striking youth program outcomes in the conservation sector. Behind those numbers lies a model that two Ecoflix partners are now building outwards, together.
A success rate in the high nineties. School expulsions are prevented in 99.5 per cent of eligible cases. High school graduation rates increased by between 85 and 90 per cent. These are the figures Wolf Connection reports for young people who complete its structured programs.
Wolf Connection and Ecosystem Restoration Camps operate at different scales but answer the same underlying question: what does restoration look like when it is a daily practice rather than a declared intention?
Ecoflix makes a direct commitment to anyone who supports it: one hundred per cent of every donation goes to its NGO partners, with no administrative percentage retained.
Restoration is not measured in declarations. At Wolf Connection it is measured in the weight of a six-month-old pup finding its pack, in a teenager completing school, in trees going into the ground on Earth Day, with a timeline that extends centuries past the people who planted them.
Support Ecoflix and its NGO partners – every donation goes directly to the field.
