Sponsorship Program
The Sponsorship Program for wolves residing at the Iberian Wolf Recovery Center (CRLI) is an initiative of the Lobo Group, which aims to involve civil society in a conservation project for one of the most emblematic species of Portuguese fauna. This symbolic gesture is a way to financially support the Center in providing all the necessary care for the well‑being of these animals that can no longer return to the wild.
Godparents can stay in touch with the project and their godchildren through regular visits to the Center and by participating in activities promoted by the Association.
To learn more about the Sponsorship Program and to sponsor one of our resident wolves, please contact us via email: crli@grupolobo.pt. You can also choose to send the completed form directly ( NOTE: the form must be saved on your computer to be able to be filled out directly ), along with proof of payment to the email address above.
The wolf in Portugal has a past, is still present, and deserves a future!
By sponsoring one or more wolves residing at the Iberian Wolf Recovery Center (CRLI), you are participating in a conservation project for an endangered species in our country.
