The red wolf is an American icon that makes our country’s wild lands whole and healthy. It’s one of the few large carnivore species endemic to the United States. Hunting, trapping, and habitat loss caused the initial extinction of red wolves in the wild. Today the world’s most endangered wolf is facing extinction for a second time, but at the hands of politicians.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to follow the best available science, not politics, in recovery planning and implementation for an endangered species. Thus this anti-wolf proposal blatantly ignores this federal mandate and thus undermines the integrity of our nation’s most significant environmental law.

There is a perceived notion that red wolf recovery is a local or regional issue for the residents of North Carolina. However, endangered species recovery is a matter of pride and concern for all U.S. citizens and taxpayers.
