Fewer than 20 red wolves now remain in the wild — and recently four were killed by vehicles in less than a year.
Among them was Airplane Ears, the breeding male of the largest remaining pack. Airplane Ears — known for his floppy, sideways ears — was a hardworking father who dutifully hunted for his pups and nursing mate. He fathered 11 red wolf pups in two years, more than doubling the number of red wolves in the wild. Then, in September 2023, a vehicle struck and killed him on a state highway that passes through the wolves' refuge.
It's time for action to protect red wolves from vehicle strikes. Right now the only thing being done to prevent these devastating deaths is putting orange collars on the wolves — a helpful strategy but more is needed. Wildlife crossings would save the lives of wolves and humans.
Significant new federal funding is available for wildlife crossings and other safety measures. But to get projects like these off the ground, state and federal agencies need to work together to back and build them.
Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Department of Transportation to support wildlife crossings and save the last few red wolves while we still can.
