SADIE PARR

Sadie Parr was the outreach coordinator and researcher for Wolf Awareness.org, a non-profit foundation established in 1987. She is dedicated to working towards conserving wolves across Canada as part of a functioning ecosystem.

Sadie was involved in a wolf-feeding ecology study in BC's Chilcotin region, and previously tracked wolves for Yoho National Park during the winter months.  She also worked with captive wolves in Golden for several years at an education centre. Sadie graduated from the University of Guelph in 2003 with a specialized honours degree in Biomedical Science and has pursued further studies at the post-graduate level regarding conservation biology and molecular genetics.  After graduating she moved west to BC and began to learn more about the perils even “protected” wildlife face in Canada.  Since then she has dedicated herself to raising awareness about the need for wolf, wild canid, and habitat conservation across Canada, home to 1/5 of the world's remaining wilderness.  In this way, she hopes responsible decisions can be made in time to preserve Canada’s iconic top predators and rich biodiversity, the wilderness they require, and the ecosystems they are functioning within. Sadie also championed 'We Howl' a national collective of organizations coming together to make a difference for animals, conservation, and the environment.
