While 28 Red Wolves may seem like an insignificant number, we must remember that the wild population was merely seven individuals only six years ago. In 2020, wildlife crossings in Red Wolf country seemed like a pipedream, yet that challenge has been met by the unwavering support of many.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that about half of the Red #Wolf puppies born last year have survived their first year in the wild! The current number of GPS-collared, wild Red #Wolves is 26 individuals, and there is a total wild population of around 28 individuals.

But as of January 2026, construction resumed along the border in the Huachuca Mountains, one of the most rugged stretches of the 2,000 mile long border. The wall will wreak havoc on vital wildlife corridors, destabilize water tables, and heavily affect the border communities.(2)
"The Arizona Trail is one of the most iconic long trails in the country, as it runs 800 miles from The US-Mexico border up to Utah. For any thru-hiker, hiking the Grand Canyon State is an incredible achievement.(1)

The work of conserving nature has never been easy, but possibilities abound. The current storm must be weathered. Confidence that the work can be done must be sustained. American Prairie is an inspiring story that is an antidote to pessimism & discouragement in these times of government retrenchment
Wild on Purpose is the story of people, especially the author Sean Gerrity, who dared to think big and take risks. Sean’s message is timely. Big things are still possible in #conservation, but time is short to act before rewilding becomes ever more difficult.
He offers practical advice for young #conservationists on deciding where they fit in the vast landscape of rewilding possibilities, fundraising, dealing with opposition, and how to curate your information diet to stay motivated for the long haul. buff.ly/qcI5G5Z
He shares how an “interim CEO” role turned into an 18-year journey, the importance of thinking big, & why money follows great vision, no matter how much it takes. Sean explains his “possibilist” philosophy: Finding possibilities others miss & hunting for solutions globally.

BEY03F’s future is full of possibilities. Though there are no known #wolves in the San Gabriel Mountains or the Tehachapi Mountains, there could be a male inhabiting them. If there is — and she meets and mates with him — she could form a pack. Or she might wander back north.
The large-scale #rewilding efforts across Chile & Argentina stand out as compelling case studies of what’s possible when bold vision, private capital, and ecological urgency collide. For anyone in business today, it challenges us to rethink what meaningful contribution looks like.
