The Mexican LOBO is our wolf in Arizona and New Mexico .... and it is extremely endangered! Who is the Lobo? Wolves are carnivores. As predators, they must hunt other animals in order to survive. When Mexican wolves were exterminated in the wild southwest, mule deer populations rose. The overabundance of deer resulted in habitat degradation. By regulating grazing and browsing wildlife populations and affecting prey behavior, wolves safeguard the habitat, enable many other species to flourish, & allow the system to support a natural level of biodiversity. Changes in Mexican wolf populations have trickle-down effects on other populations, a scientific phenomenon known as a “trophic cascade,” and certifiable indicator that wolves are an ESSENTIAL piece of the landscape. Please join the #iamessential movement and tell USFWS that you support Lobo recovery. Comment link and talking points - bit.ly/18PR4Ul Act Now to Ensure Mexican Wolf Recovery!
