Bringing Red Wolves back from the brink
From The Outer Banks Voice:
Joe Madison stops the truck, gets out and plucks a tree frog off the front window, gingerly placing it out of danger in the shrubs adjacent to the road. He gets back in and resumes the drive to Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula.
Madison is the North Carolina Program Manager and Wildlife Biologist for the Red Wolf Recovery Program, managed by US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). He turns his head and says, “Even if they’re there, you probably won’t see them,” referring to the Red Wolves who call Alligator River and the surrounding lands home. “They want to be left on their own.”
