The Wolf Preservation Blog

That’s the title of a recent letter to the Arizona Star addressing the issue of unknown numbers of tracking devices that were given out to Southwest ranchers when Mexican gray wolves were first reintroduced. Apparently so ranchers would use them to keep track of any wolves approaching their cows. The USFWS handed out this telemetry to people who were no friend to the wolf  and they never thought they could be turned on wolves, making it easier to find and kill them?  Oh no, that would never happen.

Well it could happen and it may have happened. The USFWS  should IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT DELAY collect every single one of those radio receivers. It’s not as if they haven’t known about this problem for years.

Mexican gray wolves (also known as lobos) only exist in the wild in America’s Southwest. Unfortunately, with just 42 lobos — and two breeding pairs — remaining in the wild, these wolves are in big trouble.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recently stepped up efforts to save these magnificent animals and to secure their place in Arizona and New Mexico, ending years of mismanagement and giving recovery efforts a real chance at success.

But with so few lobos remaining, the loss of even one wolf could spell disaster for these rare wolves.

Please urge U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to fast-track federal efforts to save these wolves.  Click on the link below and make your voice be heard! (Thanks to Defenders of Wildlife for providing this information)
