Any habitat area in the southeastern United State of sufficient size, and which provides adequate food, water, and basic cover requirement of heavy vegetation will be suitable for a red wolf. ]]> 2018-04-17 18:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252717809 savannahs556 https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252718843 Red wolf populations were decimated by the 1960's due to intensive predator control programs and loss of habitat. This situation has never been fully able to recover.]]> 2018-04-17 18:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252718843 savannahs556 https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252719798 After being declared an endangered species in 1973, efforts were initiated to locate and capture as many wild red wolves as possible. Of the 17 wolves caught, 14 were successful in the captive breeding program. By 1987, enough red wolves were bred in captivity to begin a restoration program on Alligator River Nation Wildlife Refuge in northeastern NC. Since then, the experimental population area has expanded to three national wildlife refugees.]]> 2018-04-17 18:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252719798 savannahs556 https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252722439 2018-04-17 18:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/savannahs556/fyjws0qai95w/wish/252722439
