Recent articles related to the reintroduction of Mexican Wolves have pushed an agenda of placing this species as far north as the Grand Canyon. Special interest groups would like to see the wolves placed into non-traditional habitat for varying reasons ranging from misguided to misleading.
The reasons include increasing ecotourism in popular destinations, placing additional restrictions on land utilization and romanticized ideals about the American West.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department, who has been an active participant in the Mexican wolf recovery effort, has issued an article outlining what the designated recovery area is and why it exists. Follow the link below for more info on what the future might hold for Arizona’s wolves.
In the meantime, what’s your opinion?

In my opinion introducing wolves to an area where they have no history is a bad presidence. It won’t boot the tourism as the Grand Canyon is s steep and cliffy area that most people wanting to see a wolf nere will never have ability to handle terrain. Food sources there are few and far between. They won’t stay there and will venture out to places where they are not intended to be.
