We are preparing a scientific book on the key questions of grey wolf population biology and the species’ survival under both direct persecution by humans and indirect human‑related impacts. The book is based on long‑term field research in Belarus.
By indirect impact, we refer to human‑driven environmental changes — particularly the sharp increase in habitat carrying capacity and the growth of species that are hostile to wolf reproduction. Their interference leads to a collapse in wolf breeding success.
Book title: Challenges and Adaptations of Wolves on the Way to Survive Under Persecution in the Modern Environment
Subtitle: A Case Study of a Local Wolf Population in Naliboki Forest, North‑Western Belarus
Co‑author: Irina Rotenko
The book will be in English, approximately 400 pages with around 300 photographs.
We are currently raising funds to print 30 hard‑copy books. Twenty copies will be sent to major libraries and wolf specialists. A PDF version will be uploaded to ResearchGate for wider access.
If you donate 200 euros or more, you are guaranteed to receive a printed copy. If you make such a donation, please let us know so we can reserve your copy.
