In 1967, the red wolf
was listed as an
endangered species
(under a law that
preceded the
Endangered Species Act
of 1973), meaning it is
considered in danger of
extinction throughout
all or a significant
portion of its range.
The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service
established a captive
breeding program for
the red wolf in 1973.
Biologists began to
remove remaining red
wolves from the wild in
an effort to save the
species from extinction.

These animals were taken to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma,
Washington. Over a period of 6 years, more than 400 wolf-like canids were captured
in Louisiana and Texas, but of this number, only 43 were considered red wolves and
were placed in captivity. Further, breeding experiments revealed that only 17 of
the 43 were true red wolves, and only 14 of these successfully bred in captivity. By
1980, the red wolf was considered extinct in the wild.
Thanks to the efforts of Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and other organizations,
the Red Wolf population has grown from 14 to over 250 wolves. Since that first
reintroduction in 1987, many other wolves have successfully bred in the Species
Survival Plan and the wild. The reintroduced wolves continue to survive and breed
successfully, helping to bolster the world population to around 250 individual
wolves.
The Red Wolf Species Survival Plan continues to be an outstanding example of
successful zoo-based conservation. Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium has helped
lead the Red Wolf breeding and reintroduction program. With the future of the
Red Wolf still in question, biologists continue to study these amazing animals to
help ensure their continued survival.
