Grant Description: This agreement is being implemented in order to promote recovery of the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), a federally listed endangered species. Missing from the landscape for more than 30 years, the Mexican wolf can again be seen and heard in the southwestern United States. Like many species protected by the Endangered Species Act, the Mexican wolf is being restored to the wild to play its role in nature through an ambitious recovery program led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with significant contributions from several partners, including the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Specific objectives to be accomplished through this Cooperative Agreement are as follows: A. Establish and support a long-term project to reestablish Mexican wolves in east-central Arizona and contiguous habitats in New Mexico. B. Achieve the recovery goals for this species as set forth in the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and the reintroduction objectives as set forth in the Notice of Record of Decision and Statement of Findings on the Final Environmental Impact Statement on Reintroduction of the Mexican Gray Wolf to its Historic Range in the Southwestern United States. Copies of these documents are available at the following website: http://www.fws.gov/southwest.es/mexicanwolf C. Provide for enhanced awareness and involvement by other agencies, local and tribal governments, communities, and citizens regarding the Mexican wolf reestablishment effort.
