PREDATOR EDUCATION FUND Predator Education Fund was founded in 1996 with the mission of preserving and protecting mammal predators native to the intermountain west. Predators have long been misunderstood and foolishly persecuted. Now we know that they are an essential part of healthy ecosystems. Sadly, the persecution continues, to the point that most species have been extirpated from many parts of the historic range. We must act quickly to reverse the trend of extermination. This will require educating people about the natural history and ecologica role of predators, as well as preserving the remaining strongholds of our wild cousins, the lynx, wolf, grizzly, wolverine and their kin.
