Letter Demands Release of Asha, Her Family

Thirty-six conservation groups representing millions of members and supporters sent a formal letter to the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requesting the immediate release of Mexican gray wolf Asha, her mate Arcadia, and their five puppies. The wolf family was slated to be released on the Ladder Ranch in June but has been subjected to unexplained delay.

Bill Would Remove Federal Protections From Endangered Mexican Gray Wolves

Legislation has been introduced to remove the Mexican gray wolf from the endangered species list, which would effectively end recovery efforts for this unique, highly imperiled subspecies. Removing ESA protection will stop releases of wolves from captivity to diversify the gene pool of wild wolves, end federal investigations into possible wolf predation on livestock, reduce federal funding that supports compensation for livestock losses, shut down monitoring of the wolves and remove federal prohibitions on killing them.

STUDENTS NAME MEXICAN GRAY WOLF PUPS SLATED FOR RELEASE

Five puppies– Kachina, Aspen, Sage, Kai, and Aala– and their parents Asha and Arcadia are slated to be released. Conservationists are calling the new family the Caldera Pack and hope that their release will add gene diversity to the genetically imperiled wild population. Thank you to the students who helped name these precious new additions to Asha and Arcadia's family!

Conservation Groups Condemn Removal of Mexican Gray Wolves from SE Arizona

Conservation groups condemned the USFWS and the AGFD’s decision to remove two Mexican gray wolves, known as Llave and Wonder, and their two new puppies from their den site in southeastern Arizona. These wolves were removed following months of inflated depredation reporting, anti-wolf fear mongering, and very few efforts by livestock ranchers to coexist with this native endangered species.
