There are only 42 Mexican Gray Wolves left in the wild in the United States.There was a 20% decline in just the past year.
The Mexican Gray Wolf has done everything needed to survive in the wild,they have formed packs, had pups, and successfully hunted native prey.
There decline is human-caused and we need to do everything we can to remedy this before it is to late.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service is managing Mexican wolves under a flawed 28-year old recovery plan.This outdated plan DOES NOT include recovery criteria, does not incorporate modern science, and has done little to protect the Mexican Wolf.
The Fish and Wildlife Service must:
1. Give Mexican gray wolves greater endangered species protections.
2. Release more wolves into the wild and bolster the genetic fitness of the population.
3. Bring the criminals killing our wolves to justice.
4. Write a new science-based Recovery Plan because the outdated 1982 plan is not working.
We the undersigned feel that these issues need to be addressed and fixed before the Mexican Gray Wolf becomes extinct.
1.Give Mexican gray wolves greater endangered species protection.
2.Release more wolves into the wild and bolster the genetic fitness of the population.
3.Bring the criminals killing our wolves to justice.
4.Write a new science-based Recovery Plan because the outdated 1982 plan is not working.
Thank you for your time on this very important issue.
