Led by Andrew Connolly, Outreach Coordinator at the Wolf Conservation Center. In the late 20th century, Mexican gray wolves and red wolves were declared to be extinct in the wild. Through intensive efforts, such as breeding programs and wild releases, these wolves have resumed their rightful places on the wild landscape. Join the Wolf Conservation Center to learn what it takes to help save a species from the brink of extinction, the applications of modern technology to reproduction efforts, and what is next in the fight for survival.​
