US Fish and Wildlife Service quietly suspends aerial count of Mexican gray wolves
From ABQJournal.com:
An annual helicopter count of endangered wolves has been indefinitely paused, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service won’t say why.
The Mexican gray wolf is a highly endangered subspecies of the gray wolf, which U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and the Arizona Game and Fish Department are working to recover. There were 286 Mexican gray wolves counted in New Mexico and Arizona during the 2025 population count.
