Wolves

A carnivore related to the jackal and domestic dog, two species of wolves are recognized.

If you mean 'Ranks' in a wolf pack, then here they are:

There is always and Alpha, who is the leader- and Alpha is A in Greek, and it means 'Comes first.' An Alpha always has a mate, who is lower in ranking, yet still up at the top. She is the only female allowed to mate in a pack. Then there is up to five Hunters, but usually there is only one in a small pack, as the Alphas hunt too.

Then their is usually a Nurse (male and female,) he or she will look after the Pups when the Hunters and Alphas are out hunting.

How can you help wolves?

That's a very broad question. As a biologist you could research populations and conduct research highly relevant to wolf conservation without ever getting near a wolf, or you could volunteer at a local zoo just to be around them. Zoos are usually a good place to go for local jobs in biology, ecology, etc. For a serious look at careers, I would suggest visiting the International Wolf Center (http://www.wolf.org/wolves/index.asp). You can find a lot of info there on the many kinds of jobs available. They have been lauded by many wolf researchers, including the famous Shaun Ellis. Acually, in fact, his story would also be a great resource. If wolves have a human poster-child, it's Shaun Ellis.
