Red Wolf Recovery

It is only natural that the NCSU Wolfpack would be working hard to help out the wolves of North Carolina. The EMC has been integrally involved in the red wolf recovery program, an amazing effort that is working to re-establish these highly endangered predators in a portion of their historic range in North Carolina.

Dr. Michael Stoskopf , Director of the EMC chairs the Red Wolf Recovery Implementation Team, a group of dedicated scientists in key disciplines appointed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to provide scientific guidance to the field biologists working to implement the adaptive management plan for the wolf. EMC graduate students Karen Beck and Anne Acton have worked to find solutions to key challenges facing the wolf, and red wolves even live on campus in the EMC’s Wild Carnivore Research Center. Not to be out done, the North Carolina Zoological Park is a partner in the captive breeding effort for red wolves.
