SAVING THE LOBO:
Mexican gray wolves, lobos, are an essential part of the ecological fabric of the Southwest. They are critically endangered, having been reintroduced from a founding population of just 7 wolves, and are unique to this region, intelligent, family-oriented, and relatively small and more colorful than northern gray wolves.
PROJECT WITH PURPOSE
We work with conservation partners and individuals to save the lobo. Mexican gray wolves remind us of the fragility and resiliency of the natural world. They inspire us with their ability to travel long distances in search of mates and food.
DETAILS:
- Family releases
- Let them disperse and move freely from the Gila in New Mexico to our Grand Canyon, and release them in southern Utah and the southern Rockies
- Steward forest, riparian, and springs habitats and landscape connectivity across the Mogollon Rim, the San Francisco Peak, and South Rim Grand Canyon.
- Increase genetic diversity of the wild population through rmore releases
- Mitigate the destruction of habitat and separation of lobo groups by border wall
