Keeo Upto date On The Red Wolves
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released a 171-page, peer-reviewed evaluation in November 2014 to address deficiencies and determine the program’s future in eastern North Carolina, with a broader announcement on an overall decision expected in early 2015.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared red wolves an endangered species in 1967 and consequently declared red wolves extinct in the wild in 1980. Some 200 red wolves are held in captive breeding facilities across the United States.
