Since 2012, I have worked with the Tonkawa Foundation, at Nuevo Casas Grandes, Mexico, to restore the Mexican wolf (Canis Lupus BaileyiGray wolf breeds were caught to the proximity of the eighties.
The wolves will be re -introduced into the Chihuahua region of the environmental balance and helps organize other wildlife groups. The return of the Mexican wolf not only helps to maintain biological diversity, but also represents a reconciliation with the species that humans have been persecuted for decades.
One of the main challenges is to obtain accurate data in areas with complex terrain to understand how to adapt wolves. Using camera traps, radio hepas, direct notes, track and breaking analyzes, I collect information about their movements and behaviors.
We appreciate that Mexican wolves 25-30 now live in the region. They are the first days, but their presence already affects the distribution of other predators such as Pomas, which hints of the environmental balance.
The general perception is still another challenge. Wolves don’t always welcome, especially in areas with livestock farms, so we are working closely with landowners to monitor wolves without generating conflict.
