Why are Mexican gray wolves endangered? And what can the next generation do about it?
Mexican gray wolves were nearly eradicated by government-led extermination programs in the early 1900s. By 1976, only a handful remained. Every Mexican gray wolf alive today descends from just seven founding wolves, making genetic diversity one of the greatest challenges facing their recovery.
Restoring wolf populations takes more than numbers. It means rebuilding genetic diversity, expanding their range, and creating opportunities for wolves and people to co-thrive.
🌎 This is where YOU can make a difference!
The Lobo Youth Summit invites high school and college students to turn their curiosity, creativity, and ideas into meaningful action for Mexican gray wolf conservation.
🎨 Create. Educate. Advocate. Inspire change.
