The areas that are being put to use as wolf habitat are still inhabitant by cattle. The removal of the Mexican wolf from the Southwest, led to the rise of antelope, herds of elk, and deer. The inhabitants of the rural Southwest see the reintroduction of wolfs as an attempt to control the use of land in poor states. The importance of wolf recovery is necessary because it will conserve the wolf itself, maintain important ecological processes, and provide spiritual, recreational, economic and esthetic benefits to people. The conservation of wolves is supported by ecology, evolution, economics, education and ethics. Wolves have been an important evolutionary forces for thousands of years shaping and maintaining the landscape of North America and…
As a result of predator control programs and the degradation and alteration of the species natural habitat, the red wolf population was nearly diminished by the early 20th century. The red wolf was designated an endangered species in 1967. Soon after, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began their efforts to conserve the species, because it is important to save all members of an ecosystem, including predators. In 1973, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated efforts to locate and capture the remaining pure bred red wolves. There was a small group of 17 wolves located in the Louisiana and Texas coastal area. Of the 17 remaining wolves, 14 were captured and became the founders of the captive breeding program. From 1980 to 1987 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared the red wolf to be extinct in the wild. Today there are more than 100 red wolves…

Hybrid Wolf Fact: A large percentage of coyotes are actually wolf hybrids.In areas where wolves have been largely eliminated, coyotes have thrived. Over the last few years, large populations have moved east, into suburban areas and even major cities like New York and Chicago. Genetic testing on 100 coyotes caught in Maine revealed that 22 had some wolf ancestry. Coywolves are generally bigger than regular coyotes, but smaller than wolves, and are said to be extremely cunning. They exhibit a fearlessness of human civilization as seen in coyotes, but seem to maintain the wolf’s pack hunting instinct and high level of aggression.8…
