Love a good underdog story? How about an under-wolf story?

What’s a lobo?
Meet the Mexican gray wolf, also known as “el lobo” in Spanish. Once completely
extinct in the wild, these wolves are on an incredible comeback journey.

Where can they be found?
Like their name suggests, Mexican gray wolves make their home in northern Mexico
and the Southwest. A century ago, they could be found farther north, and as
reintroduced populations increase, they’re starting to take their first steps
into habitat where they haven’t been seen in decades.

So what happened?
In the 1970s, they were almost completely wiped out. The United States and
Mexico worked together to save them from extinction by capturing every surviving
wolf they could find. Those wolves gave birth to new generations, and in 1998
the first 11 lobos were reintroduced in Arizona. Now there are over 240 Mexican
gray wolves in the wild – a remarkable turnaround.

How can I help?
Defenders and lobos go way back: We’ve been on the ground since day one helping
to bring back Mexican gray wolves. As we celebrate 25 years since their return
to the wild, we’re working harder than ever to bring these wolves back to their
historic habitat. We need your support to ensure the lobos continue their
recovery.
