September marked the 37th anniversary of the red wolves’ return to the wild. On September 14, 1987, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released a pair of male an female red wolves into the wild at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina.
But today only 16 red wolves remain in the wild. But there is hope. Four litters of red wolf pups were born in the wild in 2025—the most successful breeding season of the past decade. The Center protected red wolves and their pups through on-the-ground advocacy, litigation, and collaboration with Tribal partners, and we secured funds and support for one of the country’s largest wildlife crossings, which is slated to break ground next year.
