Eastern Wildway

Chief Scientist Dr. Ron Sutherland brought journalist Jimmy Tobias to eastern North Carolina's Red Wolf Recovery Area, where we've been conducting research to help save this species since 2015. Their visit, including a rare in-person sighting of some of the last remaining wild red wolves, was featured in The Nation's recent article, The Collapse of Wild Red Wolves Is a Warning That Should Worry Us All. “We are somewhere between 10 and 15 heartbeats away from having no more red wolves left in the wild,” Ron said.

Road Ecology Coordinator Mirna Manteca co-founded Asociación Mujeres y Conservación to empower, highlight and support women in conservation in Latin America, where this line of work remains largely male-dominated. "One day it just occurred to me that if I can’t find what I’m looking for, I can invent it,” she said. Based in northern Mexico, Mirna leads field research to ensure wildlife’s habitat can remain connected across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands region.

Hailing from Washington State, Conservation Director Greg Costello dove into a cornerstone concept of our work, rewilding—What Is 'Rewilding' and How Can It Help Restore Our Planet's Biodiversity?  “If we are smart and exercise precaution, we can reconnect, restore, and rewild landscapes," he said. “In doing so, we can help rebuild the resilience of ecosystems as well as our own.”
