Free Event: Mexican Wolf Recovery
PLAN TO ATTEND: Pito Lopez, wildlife technician with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will give a presentation on the success of the Mexican wolf recovery program. He's the August speaker at the NM Wildlife Federation's "Wildlife Wednesday" program.
The wild population of the Mexican wolf is rising in southern New Mexico and Arizona as biologists continue to plant wolf pups born in captivity into wild dens.
This spring, the U.S. Fish and WIldlife Service announced that the 2023 wolf census found a minimum of 257 wolves, of which 144 were in New Mexico and 113 in Arizona. Those numbers show a 6-percent increase in the wolf population over 2022’s minimum total of 242 wolves. The increase marks the eighth consecutive year of growth, the longest continuous streak since recovery efforts began.
