 Cyberwest - Mexican wolf population declines for third successive year — CBD
The number of endangered Mexican gray wolves that could be confirmed in the wild declined for the third successive year in 2005 as a result of trapping and shooting of wolves by the U.S. government, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
The Mexican Wolf Adaptive Management Oversight Committee (AMOC) pledged in its five-year review of the reintroduction project to take no regulatory action to address the problem of wolves becoming habituated to livestock as a result of scavenging, thus likely dooming the Luna Pack and making further population declines predictable, said CBD.
For example, CBD reported that the wolf reintroduction that began in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho three years prior to the Mexican wolf reintroduction has led to almost 1,000 wolves in the wild in the northern Rocky Mountains today.
