Public comment period is open for U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's 2018 plan for wild Mexican gray wolves.
Submit comments by December 26th!
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has created their annual Initial Release and Translocation Plan for 2018, which will guide their work to recover Mexican gray wolves in the next year. They will accept public comment on the plan through December 26th.
We need more releases of family groups and/or breeding pairs!
Mexican gray wolves have very little time left to overcome the genetic crisis they are now in. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must act fast to get more genes from the captive population into the wild population, and releases of adult wolves and family packs from captivity is the fastest way to do it. Cross fostering (placing captive born pups into wild dens to be raised by a wild pack) is a start, but alone it will not be enough to solve the inbreeding problem Mexican gray wolves face.
~Please put a call for more adult releases in your comments~
