Some howlin' good news: The Mexican gray wolf population has increased again for for the ninth consecutive year! ❤️🐺❤️ The smallest gray wolf subspecies in North America, the Mexican gray wolf is also one of the most imperiled mammals on the continent after nearly being wiped out in the U.S. by the mid-1970s. But, thanks to the passage of the Endangered Species Act and the success of a captive breeding program of the last six surviving wolves, this species has made a remarkable comeback. Though their numbers have since grown to a reported 286 wolves in 2024, Mexican gray wolves still suffer from a lack of genetic diversity. For more than 30 years, the Center has worked to recover Mexican wolves in the wild and we won't stop until this species is fully recovered. #mexicangraywolf #graywolf #saveourwolves #carnivoreconservation #wildlifeconservation #environmentalconservation #endangeredspecies
