Gesa Kluth (born 1970 near Göttingen) is a German biologist and wolf expert. She studied biology in Bremen and in 1996 she worked with a wolf pack in Estonia as part of her diploma thesis. After spending some time in Brandenburg, she is currently living in Oberlausitz in Saxony, where the first free-living wolf packs in Germany have settled. Gesa Kluth is regarded as a wolf expert in Germany.

Large Carnivore Initiative For Europe
The Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe (LCIE) is a working group of the IUCN Commission on the Conservation of Species. and a Non-governmental organization. President of the LCIE is the Secretary of the IUCN Wolf Specialist Group Luigi Boitani. Its objective is to maintain and restore viable populations of large carnivores in coexistence with humans as an integral part of ecosystems and landscapes throughout Europe. History LCIE was founded in June 1995 by a coalition of scientists, land manangers, government officials und conservation groups (leading among them WWF Europe) from 17 European countries. The cause for the founding of LCIE was the critical situation of the Iberian lynx, whose population had dwindled to less than 100 adult individuals and was considered to be close to extinction. Activities LCIE works in an advisory role both on the European and national level. LCIE has the crucial consultative role for the European Commission's Large Carnivores Unit and for th ...

Wolf Organizations
The wolf (''Canis lupus''; : wolves), also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than thirty subspecies of ''Canis lupus'' have been recognized, and gray wolves, as popularly understood, comprise wild subspecies. The wolf is the largest extant member of the family Canidae. It is also distinguished from other ''Canis'' species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, as well as a shorter torso and a longer tail. The wolf is nonetheless related closely enough to smaller ''Canis'' species, such as the coyote and the golden jackal, to produce fertile hybrids with them. The banded fur of a wolf is usually mottled white, brown, gray, and black, although subspecies in the arctic region may be nearly all white. Of all members of the genus ''Canis'', the wolf is most specialized for cooperative game hunting as demonstrated by its physical adaptations to tackling large prey, its more social nature, and its highly advanced ...
