Mexican Wolves: Los Lobos in Limbo -- An E&E Report

For more than a decade, federal wildlife managers have struggled to return the Mexican wolf to the wilds of the Southwest. But unlike their cousins to the north, where thousands of gray wolves roam the northern Rockies and the Great Lakes regions, Mexican gray wolves are still scarce within their own recovery area, where just 42 animals were counted last year. By all accounts, the troubled Mexican wolf reintroduction program is at a crossroads. As the Fish and Wildlife Service attempts to forge a new path toward recovery, difficult questions loom large: Can wolves and livestock co-exist? How many wolves should there be, and where? Is recovery even possible? Land Letter reporter April Reese takes a detailed look at the program and explores questions of why recovery for Mexican wolves has been elusive, and what the Fish and Wildlife Service is doing to try to salvage the program.
