Issue

For more than 10,000 years the Grand Canyon region was home to wolves. But during the 1900s, wolves were eliminated from the western landscape. By 1970, no wild Mexican wolves remained in the United States. For a secure future, the Mexican wolf needs more room to roam and establish new packs. The large open landscapes of the Grand Canyon region can provide that room and will be an important part of their full recovery from near extinction.

Response

The Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project works for the recovery of the Mexican gray wolf. To do this we educate our communities by sharing our knowledge of the importance of wolves in healthy ecosystems, through public events and presentations in local schools. We motivate the public to learn about, care for, and respect wolves and their habitats. Lastly, we activate our neighbors and supporters to take action in support of wolf recovery.
