Over 25 years, the red wolf went from being declared extinct in the wild to becoming hailed as an Endangered Species Act success story.
WHY WERE RED WOLVES DECLARED EXTINCT IN THE WILD?
After generations of killings, habitat loss and pressure from human development, the red wolf was declared “threatened with extinction” under the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966. With the signing of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, the last known families were pulled from the coasts of Texas and Louisiana and placed in captive breeding programs. The species was declared extinct in the wild in 1980.
