Dear EWCP,

I'm currently editing the documentary on the Lone Wolf Expedition to the Simien Mountains carried out in 2005 (www.lonewolfproject.org.uk).

The film is promoting research and conservation on the wolf and may accrue some funds for future work. It will be shown at various conferences, given to funders and anyone that contributed to making the expedition possible, such as the EWCP.

There is a possibility of selling it as an educational material, to expedition societies and biology departments that are keen on field work - essentially a 'how to do an expedition' or 'this is what field work is like' kind of film, both of which will feature the wolf and its current situation. If so, we (LWP) plan to put 50% (the other 50% going to equipment and expedition production costs)of any profits into a small fund, which would make available a start-up grant for an expedition or project hoping to expand on the preliminary surveys we did. Very few student expeditions bother to care about what happens to the thing they're studying after completion.

For the opener we plan to summarise what the expedition is about with a photo sequence, with photos flashing up to the beat of music by Gi Gi (the Ethiopian artist). As the wolf is very few in number in the Simien, we only managed one good photo! I would be very appreciative of any photos of wolves people could let me use.

Yours Sincerely,

Richard Hoolahan
