These programs allowed hunting and catching many large carnivores, including the red wolf. Once they were declared endangered in 1973, however, scientists took in as many as they could find. Out of over 400 they found in the wild, they only captured 43, as they were deemed "real wolves." But, after closer examination to those 43, they discovered only 17 were full red wolves; the other 26 were wolf-coyote crossbreeds. 14 out of the 17 successfully bred pups. Red wolves now live in two reserves in North Carolina because their original hunting grounds and habitats are either destroyed or occupied by humans.

Some ways people can help:
1. Adopt a red wolf. No, don't actually try to adopt a real red wolf! A symbolic adoption; "adopt" a stuffed animal red wolf.
2. Donate. By donating some money to organizations that help red wolves, like the Defenders of Wildlife, they can raise enough money to possibly open another reserve.
3. Speak up. Tell people about red wolves, and share what they can do to help save them.
