The BBC Wildlife Fund is a brand new charity, established in May 2007, to supports work protecting wildlife under threat around the world. Initially, the Fund is getting the bulk of its money from the appeal promoted in the BBC Saving Planet Earth TV series. Money raised will be prioritised for distribution among the projects featured in the Saving Planet Earth programmes. Grants will be decided – by the Trustees– in the autumn of 2007 and will usually provide funding over three years. Hopefully, enough money will be raised for a second round of grants to be awarded in 2008, open to new and existing applicants.

The Ethiopian wolf was one of 23 wildlife projects approved by an independent selection panel for inclusion in the Saving Planet Earth TV series. Only nine could be filmed for this first series, but all are eligible to apply for funding from the BBC Wildlife Fund. All the projects were approved because they: addressed a clear plight, protected an important species that was key to an ecosystem, were effective in the past with plans for the future and involved local communities.
