How the U.S. and Mexico have teamed up on Mexican gray wolf recovery efforts. | via texasstandard
For over four decades, the U.S. and Mexican governments have worked to recover the population of endangered Mexican gray wolves. Thousands of these wolves once roamed from the southwestern U.S. all the way down to southern Mexico – but by the 1970s, only a handful remained in the wild.
That is incredible. So why do experts feel it’s important to bring Mexican gray wolves back to the wild? As you were mentioning, with the rise of cattle ranching and that sort of thing – I mean, wolves are predators. Do the rising numbers suggest that these efforts by the U.S. and Mexico are starting to pay off? And are they joint efforts, or is each country doing something separate?
What are some challenges to gray wolf recovery? Are they similar in Mexico and the U.S. or different?
