Good news for wolves 🎉 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released into the wild an endangered Mexican gray wolf called Asha, along with her mate and pups. Asha was featured in National Geographic and other media for twice roaming north of Interstate 40 in New Mexico before being captured and kept in prolonged captivity for having strayed beyond the arbitrary northern boundary. “I’m thrilled that Asha is free again along with her captive-born family,” said Michael Robinson, a senior conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Her senseless capturing twice deprived her of the opportunity to find a mate in the Rocky Mountains and expand the Mexican wolf’s range. May her pups grow up with their mom’s intrepid spirit and the savvy that kept her alive across so many miles.” [Image description: A Mexican gray wolf runs through yellowed grass at Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico.] #WolvesBack #FreeAsha #SaveOurWolves #WildlifeConservation
