Notice of Intent to Award to Turner Endangered Species for Mexican Wolf Project Support: This agreement is being implemented in order to sustain the current collaborative partnership that exists between the Service and TESF in the implementation of the Service's Mexican Wolf Recovery Program (MWRP). The objective of this agreement is to have TESF Ladder Ranch contribute to the pre-release care and acclimation of Mexican wolves at their Ladder Ranch Wolf Management Facility for eventual release into the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area in Arizona and New Mexico, and with the ultimate goal of recovery of this subspecies of the endangered gray wolf in the southwestern United States. Missing from the landscape for more than 30 years, the public can now benefit from the Mexican wolf again being 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 Turner Endangered Species Fund.

Additional Information on Eligibility
The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to continue the previous agreement and to sustain the current collaborative partnership that exists between the Service and TESF in the implementation of the Service's Mexican Wolf Recovery Program (MWRP). The Mexican wolf was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 1976. In December of 1997, TESF entered into a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with the Service to construct and maintain a pre-release Mexican wolf facility at Ladder Ranch, a Turner Ranch Property, LP, in southern New Mexico. As agreed, TESF constructed this facility and have continued to maintain both it and the wolves held there at no cost to the Service. In 2001, TESF entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Service at the national level to facilitate TESF's ability to assist the Service in meeting the Service's mission. The physical and intellectual infrastructure TESF has developed with respect to Mexican wolf recovery during the past 10 years is of value to the MWRP. The objective of this agreement is to have TESF Ladder Ranch continue contributions to the pre-release care and acclimation of Mexican wolves at their Ladder Ranch facility for eventual release into the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area in Arizona and New Mexico, and with the ultimate goal of recovery of this subspecies of the endangered gray wolf in the southwestern United States. The pre-release enclosures are located on the Ladder Ranch, a Turner Ranch Property, LP. Thus, TESF is uniquely qualified to perform the activities based on location and private land ownership.
