PRACTICAL PROTECTION
FOR THE ANIMALS
ON THE FARM.
Better protection for farm animals helps reduce the risk of attacks and conflict over wolves.
WHITEWOLF is organising this first local project at Ferme du Petit Bonheur, run by Katia. Following our conversation with her, the needs are clear: food and care for the dogs already on the farm, help with Tundra’s surgery, a new livestock guardian puppy, and suitable fencing and equipment. We will share how the funds are spent and what they achieve.
Help fund Tundra’s surgery.
Tundra, Katia’s dog, is nearly eight. She has a tumour and needs surgery. The fundraiser aims to contribute towards her operation and related care.

Fencing and equipment.
Help fund fencing and equipment suited to protecting the farm’s animals.
Practical needs. Costs to be confirmed.
The four needs above will guide how funds are used. Budgets will be agreed with Katia using quotes and actual costs; no item is presented as already funded.
Fundraising target: CHF 10,000. The allocation between food, care, Tundra’s surgery, the new puppy and equipment will be agreed with Katia based on actual costs and quotes, alongside any available public support. We will share the expenses and the work carried out.

EVERYDAY
COURAGE.
KATIA CHIRON · FERME DU PETIT BONHEUR · NAX
Katia runs her farm on her own, with remarkable energy and a joy for life that earns everyone’s respect.
She faces the long days and responsibilities of farm life with exceptional courage. Those who know her recognise the same positive outlook, warm smile and care for her animals, day after day.
At Le Petit Bonheur, she also welcomes families into her world, with animal encounters, children’s activities, and horse and pony rides.
Tundra is Katia’s dog; her photograph was provided for this initiative. Farm photograph: AI-assisted restoration and sky retouching from the original image. The first photograph and the alpine sheep photograph illustrate pastoral life elsewhere. Katia’s portrait: the farm’s website.

03 / WHY WHITEWOLF CARES
A FREE SPIRIT.
THE STRENGTH
OF FAMILY.
The Arctic wolf embodies the philosophy behind WHITEWOLF: finding your way in a demanding environment, learning to rely on yourself and staying deeply connected to those closest to you.
In the vast polar desert, every step calls for awareness, adaptability and perseverance. That self-reliance, and the freedom to follow your own path, inspire us.
The pack is family. A bond built on trust, mutual support and knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Each member belongs and helps protect the others. That same spirit guides our family real estate firm.
This connection to wolves inspires practical action: helping farmers protect their animals so that wolves, too, can retain their place in the mountains. Our first project in Nax reflects respect for wildlife and for the people who live alongside it.
INDEPENDENCE. MUTUAL SUPPORT. FAMILY.
