Record Number of Mexican Wolf Pups Fostered into New Mexico and Arizona
27 Mexican wolf pups were fostered into 8 dens from 5 SAFE Facilities.
Conservationists hope for released pups to survive in face of worsening genetic crisis
Advocates are wishing the best for all the pups and their new adoptive families but caution that the over-reliance on fostering is resulting in a rapidly closing window for genetic rescue of Mexican wolves as the population grows and it gets harder to increase gene diversity.
