Lourdes Gray Wolves' Athletic Conference is headquartered where?
in Livonia, Michigan
Lourdes Gray Wolves
The Lourdes Gray Wolves, are the athletic teams of Lourdes University.
 Lourdes competes in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (|NAIA) Division II.
 They have been a member of the NAIA II since 2010.
 The university is a member of the Wolverine–Hoosier Athletic Conference (2011–present) and Mid-America Men's Volleyball Intercollegiate Conference (2011–present) and Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association (Division II 2013–present).
 Lourdes is currently fielding 18 varsity teams in 11 sports:
Wolverine–Hoosier Athletic Conference
The Wolverine–Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) is a college athletic conference of twelve colleges and universities in the U.S. states of Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
 Founded in 1992, the conference was created as a successor group for the now-defunct NAIA District 23.
 The conference is a part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and is headquartered in Livonia, Michigan.
Endangered Wolf Center
The Endangered Wolf Center is a non-profit wildlife facility in Eureka, Missouri, United States, near St. Louis that is dedicated to preserving and reintroducing to the wild critically endangered species of wolves.
 It is certified by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
 The Center was founded in 1971 by renowned naturalist Marlin Perkins and his wife Carol, who saw that wolves around the world were in danger of becoming extinct.
 Its mission is to preserve and protect Mexican wolves, red wolves, and other wild canid species, with purpose and passion, through carefully managed breeding, reintroduction and inspiring education programs.
 Animals born at the facility have been reintroduced to North Carolina (red wolves) and Arizona and New Mexico (Mexican wolves).
 The Center's research focuses on reproductive, behavioral and nutritional needs for the species housed there.
 The Endangered Wolf Center is a founding member of the AZA’s Mexican Wolf and Red Wolf Species Survival Plans.
 As of August 2016, the Center had six species of endangered canids: Mexican wolves, red wolves, maned wolves, African painted dogs, fennec foxes and swift foxes.
 It had more than 20 Mexican gray wolves, more than any other managed breeding facility.
 (Only 97 Mexican wolves were known to exist in the wild as of 2015.)
 The Center serves as the cornerstone of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's program to preserve Mexican wolves and reintroduce them to the wild. Great Lakes boreal wolf
Great Lakes boreal wolf is an informal term used to describe hybrids between North American gray wolves, eastern wolves and possibly coyotes in the forests surrounding the Great Lakes.
 Introgression of gray wolf genes into Canadian populations of eastern wolves has occurred across eastern Manitoba, northern and eastern Ontario, and into southwestern Quebec.
 In the United States, gray wolves have also introgressed into the eastern wolf populations that once inhabited the western Great Lakes states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
 Introgressions of coyotes into eastern wolf populations have also occurred in southern Ontario, Quebec, and all over the eastern Great Lakes states.
 While gray wolves in the northern states rarely mate with coyotes, it was long suspected that the eastern wolves which mixed with the gray wolves in the boreal forests may have also had coyote introgressions from past hybridizations with earlier coyote populations, resulting in transmittal of coyote genes into the modern day Great Lakes boreal wolves, which in turn further introduce these coyote and eastern wolf genes into other gray wolf populations. Wolf reintroduction
Wolf reintroduction involves the reestablishment of a portion of Canadian Gray wolves in areas where native Gray Wolves have been extirpated.
 Reintroduction is only considered where large tracts of suitable wilderness still exist and where certain prey species are abundant enough to support a predetermined wolf population. Wolf hunting
Wolf hunting is the practice of hunting gray wolves "(Canis lupus)" or other species of wolves.
 Wolves are mainly hunted for sport, for their skins, to protect livestock, and, in some rare cases, to protect humans.
 Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock vital for the survival of Neolithic human communities.
 Historically, the hunting of wolves was a huge capital- and manpower-intensive operation.
 The threat wolves posed to both livestock and people was considered significant enough to warrant the conscription of whole villages under threat of punishment, despite the disruption of economic activities and reduced taxes.
 The hunting of gray wolves, while originally actively endorsed in many countries, has become a controversial issue in some nations.
 Opponents see it as cruel, unnecessary and based on misconceptions, while proponents argue that it is vital for the conservation of game herds and as pest control. California Wolf Center
California Wolf Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit located 50 miles east of San Diego, near the town of Julian, California.
 It is a conservation, education, and research center dedicated to wolf recovery in the wild.
 They are a statewide organization with staff and volunteers throughout California striving to pave the way for the return of wolves in California.
 Founded in 1977 to educate the public about wildlife and ecology, the Center is currently home to several packs of gray wolves, some of which play an important role in educational programs.
 These wolves serve as ambassadors representing wolves in the wild.
 The Center also hosts highly endangered Mexican gray wolves, now being reintroduced into the southwestern United States. Wolf Haven International
Wolf Haven International, originally known as Wolf Haven America and Wolf Haven Country, is a wolf sanctuary and management 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Tenino, Washington, that focuses on wolves.
 Founded in 1982 by Steve and Linda Kuntz, the group provides educational programs on wolves, engages in wolf-related activism, and operates a sanctuary that houses displaced, captive-born wolves.
 It also fosters and participates in captive-breeding programs for two highly endangered types of wolves, the red wolf and the Mexican wolf.
 Wolf Haven is one of three facilities in the United States that provides pre-release housing for Mexican gray wolves bred for Southwest restoration programs. Black wolf
A black wolf is a melanistic colour variant of the gray wolf ("Canis lupus").
 Black specimens are recorded among red wolves ("Canis lupus rufus"), and these color variants are probably still around today.
 Genetic research from the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California, Los Angeles revealed that wolves with black pelts owe their distinctive coloration to a mutation which occurred in domestic dogs, and was carried to wolves through wolf-dog hybridization.
 Besides coat color they are normal gray wolves. Mexican wolf
The Mexican wolf ("Canis lupus baileyi"), also known as the lobo, is a subspecies of gray wolf once native to southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, western Texas and northern Mexico.
 It is the smallest of North America's gray wolves, and is similar to "C. l. nubilus", though it is distinguished by its smaller, narrower skull and its darker pelt, which is yellowish-gray and heavily clouded with black over the back and tail.
 Its ancestors were likely the first gray wolves to enter North America after the extinction of the Beringian wolf, as indicated by its southern range and basal physical and genetic characteristics.
