There is worldwide concern about the safety of the tiger in Bengal; we even have television insertions endorsed by celebrities about the need to hold our guns. But little, if at all any, respect or thought is reserved for the wolf, the small mammal which is part of folklore in Bengal with even Gurudev Tagore devoting small story to its exploits. But some work has started and right-thinking men in government and administration have taken up cudgels on behalf of the wolf with ``Pugmarks,'' a project devoted to the safekeep of this animal, working in earnest in various areas of Bankura, Birbhum, Bardhaman and Midnapore.

Ganguly said that while the urban gentry was by and large unaware of the existence of the animal , the village folk of these areas were alive to the wolf and knew the various movements even through pugmarks.The wolf was known by various names in these areas. But because of lack of awareness and rampant poaching, the wolf was now an endangered species. In the Choupahari area alone, there were at least 50 wolves. ``Pugmarks'' has not confined its activities to only a census on wolves but has made it a sociological research with the village life forming an important component, making it thus a worthwhile project for future evaluation and education from all angles.
