Atka resides at the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, N.Y., which since its founding in 1999 has promoted the conservation of this often misunderstood species by teaching about wolves, their relationship to the environment and our role in their protection. Atka is an ambassador wolf whose job it is to travel to different places as a representative of his species to help clear up the misunderstandings.
