[[link removed]]A VICTORY FOR RED WOLVES
Defender,

We have some incredible news to share: The world’s most endangered wolves just
received a much-needed victory in their fight for survival!

Last week, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina
ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must resume releasing captive red
wolves into the wild, giving the species new hope for recovery.

Backed by supporters like you, Defenders’ legal team and our coalition partners
filed this case to help bolster red wolves’ wild population in eastern North
Carolina and beyond. For years, this population has been dwindling as the Fish
and Wildlife Service has neglected its duty to take action that would stop these
incredibly vulnerable wolves from disappearing.

As a result of this ruling, the Fish and Wildlife Service has until March 1st,
2021 to develop a plan to resume releasing captive wolves into the Red Wolf
Recovery Area in North Carolina. Adding these captive wolves to the wild
population is expected to boost the population and help prevent red wolves from
going extinct.

The all-out effort to save red wolves continues, but this ruling is an
incredible step in the right direction – and we couldn’t have done it without
your support!

Read more about the ruling that orders the Fish and Wildlife Service to resume
releasing captive red wolves to save this species here!
