Celebrate the untamed spirit of the Mexican Gray Wolf with this lovingly handcrafted felt ornament—made from soft, undyed alpaca wool. Created in close collaboration with the Wolf Conservation Center, this detailed ornament is a striking tribute to one of North America's most endangered and iconic wild canines.
Did you know: Mexican Gray Wolves are one of the most endangered mammals in North America. By the mid-1980s, hunting, trapping, and poisoning caused the extinction of lobos in the wild, with only a handful remaining in captivity. In 1998, the wolves were reintroduced into the wild, and there are 257 individuals today.
15% of the sales of this ornament go to the Wolf Conservation Center to support their efforts to save these wolves. The WCC champions wolf recovery through education, advocacy, and participation in vital species survival programs in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. You can visit their ambassador wolves and learn more about their programs at their home site in New York state, or visit online here.
Each piece is carefully needle-felted by hand in Peru, featuring delicate gray and white wool shading that captures the quiet strength and mystery of this elusive animal. From its alert ears to the soft curve of its tail, every detail reflects the skilled artistry of Andean women artisans and their deep-rooted textile heritage.
This unique Mexican Gray Wolf ornament is more than just a beautiful holiday decoration—it’s a meaningful keepsake for wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those passionate about species conservation. Hang it on your Christmas tree, use it in a woodland-themed display, or gift it to someone with a wild heart and a cause worth howling for.
