Mexican Wolf Population Surpassing Recovery Goals in the United States
From U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service:
The United States population of Mexican wolves has surpassed interim abundance and release targets, as well as predictions for gene diversity and population growth. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 5-Year Evaluation of the Mexican Wolf Recovery Strategy assesses progress on recovery objectives for the Mexican wolf for both the U.S. and Mexico populations of wild Mexican wolves.
This evaluation also measures progress towards interim abundance and release targets identified in the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan, and compares between observed metrics and predicted metrics, which were derived from 2017 modeling and used to craft the current recovery strategy and criteria for the endangered subspecies.
