CANIS RUFUS: HOW THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE IS FAILING THE RED WOLF?

Note Written by: Taylor Rippe


This Note explores the conservation efforts of the red wolf, native to North America. To combat a declining red wolf population, recovery efforts were implanted to repopulate and ensure the survival of the species. Although considered successful, the recovery efforts have been undermined by nighttime hunting. To combat this, Ms. Rippe analyzes conservation efforts and suggests solutions to ensure the red wolf survives extinction.
