Red Wolf Teaching Tools

One of the main activities that can help red wolf recovery efforts is the spread of red wolf knowledge through education. While informal learning in public settings is beneficial, a great impact on public perception of red wolves can also be made in the classroom. The resources listed on this page can be used in schools to teach students of various ages and learning abilities to understand red wolves. They can also be used in informal settings if necessary.
