“Public opinion research and polling (NM, AZ) shows consistently that lobo supporters are in the majority in the southwestern United States. By translating the passion that we feel for wolves into action, we can make a real difference in turning Mexican wolf management around towards real success.
Remember, it is only because so many of us took action in the first place that Mexican wolves were brought back from extinction in the wilds of the Southwest and reintroduced in Arizona and New Mexico.
In recent years, the Mexican gray wolf’s supporters brought about significant changes using tools like those below. These include ending a destructive policy of killing or permanently removing from the wild wolves that depredated on three or more livestock a year, a ban on trapping in the wolf recovery area, and movement toward the lobo’s own listing for stronger Endangered Species Act protections!
Top predators, like Mexican gray wolves, are beautiful animals that play a vital role in keeping the balance of nature. They are also one of North America’s most imperiled creatures.
LORDS OF NATURE is the story of how science is now discovering top predators as revitalizing forces of nature, and of a society now learning tolerance for these animals.
Help protect wolves and other top predators by hosting a home screening of Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators.”
