FILE - A red wolf crosses a road on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, Thursday, March 23, 2023, near Manns Harbor, N.C. The endangered red wolf can survive in the wild, but only with significant additional management intervention, according to a long-awaited population viability analysis released Friday, Sept. 29, 2023. can survive in the wild, but only with “significant additional management intervention,” according to a long-awaited population viability analysis released Friday.
But the announcement comes with a lot of caveats. The viability analysis says it will take drastic reductions in gunshot and vehicle deaths, stepped-up efforts to prevent wolf-coyote mixing, and creative methods to increase reproduction in the wild and captive wolf populations. If releases from the captive breeding program were to cease, extinction of the North Carolina population will likely take place in two to three decades.
But in 1987, the agency placed four breeding pairs in the 158,000-acre Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Another “non-essential experimental population” was later planted in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but was declared a failure in 1998.
