The Endangered Wolf Center is a non-profit facility in Eureka, Missouri, dedicated to the protection of the critically endangered species of wolves. The Center was founded by renowned naturalist Marlin Perkins and his wife Carol in 1971, when they realized that many species of wolves around the world were in danger of becoming extinct. The mission of the Center is to protect and preserve Mexican wolves, red wolves, and other wild canid species through managed breeding, reintroduction into the wild and public education programs. Red wolves born at the center have been reintroduced to North Carolina and Mexican wolves were reintroduced in Arizona and New Mexico. As of August 2016, the Center had six species of endangered canids: Mexican wolves, red wolves, maned wolves, African painted dogs, fennec foxes and swift foxes. The Center offers daytime public tours and evening wolf howls. Reservations are required.
