Between May and August 2006 we worked with over 30 volunteers who dedicated themselves to education tabling on the north and south rims of Grand Canyon National Park. With this outreach campaign, we built a pro-wolf constituency of over 1,000 people, raised over $1,500, generated over 600 postcards to the Southwest Regional Director of US Fish & Wildlife Service letting him know that the public supports the recovery of wolves to the Grand Canyon Ecoregion, and educated well over a thousand people about wolves and the need to restore them to this region.

This very successful project
was developed with three goals in mind:

• Disseminate information to visitors from the U.S. and abroad about the historical role wolves played in this vicinity, their current status in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area, and the potential for future inhabitation throughout this region.
  
  
• Dispel myths about wolves and teach the public about wolf behaviors, pack structure, hunting habits, and the biological niche wolves fill in healthy ecosystems, using the success in Yellowstone to illustrate the way an ecosystem will begin to heal itself when a top predator is reintroduced.
  
  
• Engage with a supportive public, encouraging them to write agency officials to show the widespread support for wolf recovery in the Grand Canyon Ecoregion, as well as build a strong pro-wolf constituency to aid us in our campaign to bring wolves back to the Grand Canyon Ecoregion.
