Chapter 01, Why Wolves

A keystone returns.

The Mexican gray wolf is the most endangered wolf in the world and a keystone species of the Southwest. The Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project works towards the recovery of Canis lupus baileyi across the Western United States, through science-informed advocacy, classroom education, and community partnerships that make co-thriving possible.

The Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project is dedicated to bringing back wolves to help restore ecological health in the Grand Canyon region, while also recognizing wolves as sentient beings with intrinsic value and worth.
