"I admire the work of the WOLF team..."
Large continuous areas of forest protect the stability of the climate of vast areas. It is not yet known in the Czech Republic that the floods in Moravia in 1997 (warning), which were followed by much more devastating floods from Austria through Bohemia to the north of Germany (2002), are a result of deforestation in all these areas due to the increasingly intensive construction of businesses and highways in place of forests. The felling of 70 km2 of dying spruce forests in the winter of 1982-3 as a result of the "dry century" and toxic emissions resulted in a devastating tornado at the beginning of the summer on July 10, 1983, which swept into the richest lowlands of the Garden of Bohemia, where it destroyed orchards and avenues, and scattered the local hop fields. In a large continuous area of forest, evolutionary processes of forest ecosystems develop, which have an impact on the stability of the environment in the distant surroundings, and therefore efforts to maintain the largest possible continuous area of forests are the result of experience and rare foresight. I admire the work of the WOLF team and thank them for their selfless efforts to maintain this stability for the benefit of the entire society. A large area of wilderness, which benefits not only the forest, together with evolution-minded foresters, will save the beauties of Slovakia!

"...I support the WOLF initiative."
Our forests need all the help we can give them. The loss of old forest stands, which in some regions only exist in reserves, is particularly alarming. Large continuous areas of such forests, uninterrupted by felling, practically do not exist in Slovakia anymore, while for many organisms such a forest is the basic condition for life. And this applies not only to large animals, but also to many plants, lichens and fungi. That is why I support the WOLF initiative.

"I'm terribly happy that I can once again help the Wolves and, in a way, the forest."
I like nature very much and every Sunday, when I have time, I go to the forest, where I recharge my energy and I always talk to the trees about my difficulties, sorrows and pains, and then I feel relieved. After all, people and trees are children of this Earth, we have been living together here for ages, so it is necessary to protect them. They protect our lives and we must protect theirs. It is our duty. I am very happy that I can once again help the Wolves and the forest in my own way.

"...I'll gladly run to help the wolves."
Wolves from Tulčík once again - for some time already - want good for us people, present and future. They are asking us (for us) for help (for us). They want to "have" natural forests here, they want to keep them here for us, they want it for us and with us. They don't want the forests to listen to us and for us to tell them how to be themselves, but they teach us to listen attentively and respectfully, to patiently watch the forest return to its original state, they teach us perfect care by not interfering and self-realization by identifying with nature. I think this is one of the biggest events in the world, and that's why I'm happy to run to help the Wolves. May man be a wolf to man.

"Let's support the efforts of the Wolf!"
A farmer or forest owner may own small pieces of land scattered over a large area. This is because he does not live on them. However, the inhabitants of nature that we want to protect need larger and more continuous areas for their livelihood. You cannot have a number of reserves measuring 100x100m, and right next to them a highway, stray dogs or a lurking hunter. Such islands cannot take care of themselves, they need constant human supervision, and even then they will degenerate over time and cease to differ from the unprotected surroundings. If conservation efforts are to make sense, they need to acquire more continuous areas on which ecosystems could develop on their own. Let's support this effort by the Wolf!
