A recently discovered canid is making their home along the coast of LA. They’re classified as coyotes, but Red Wolf ancestry gives them bigger ears, and longer legs.

Scientists are working to better understand these hybrids and what they mean for the future of canids in the region.

For decades, wildlife policy has defined recovery as survival, keeping species alive, but not truly allowing them to live.

From wolves to grizzlies to bison, we’ve settled for the bare minimum. What if conservation meant more than avoiding extinction?

Wildlife recovery means more than just survival of a species

Our ambassador wolves love enrichment, and bubbles are no exception! 🐺

Enrichment can include scents, new objects, visual surprises, and more. Activities like chasing bubbles stimulate their minds and bodies while encouraging natural behaviors and keeping them active, alert, and engaged. #wolffact

Every wolf is full of personality, intelligence, empathy and strength and infinitely capable of co-existence with our own species. It really is up to us. #savewolves

Good morning, beloved.

Doing the right thing will often require learning the ways that we’ve normalized the wrong things so that we can unlearn bad practices and practice good ones.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

#LoboWeek begins today!

This week marks the 27th anniversary of the Mexican gray wolf's (“Lobo”) return to the wild! Missing from the landscape for 30+ years, the howl of the rarest + most unique subspecies of gray wolf was once again greeted by the mountains + woodlands of the southwest.
