| organized by the Endangered Species Coalition | facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1772852632998073/ |
Join us on August 24th to raise awareness and support for the red wolf, learn more about Canis rufus and tell the Fish and Wildlife Service that red wolves belong here in North Carolina!
WHY: The red wolf is one of the most endangered species in the world, and it is found right here in our state. The truth about red wolves is that there are fewer than 40 wild red wolves, and all 40 are found right here in North Carolina. Why have you never heard about the red wolf you ask? Where’s the action and public support? That’s where you come in. Currently the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is deciding the fate of the wild red wolf recovery program in North Carolina, and the agency is expected to announce its decision in September (next month!). Will the FWS abandon their three decades of hard work trying to save the red wolves? Or will they listen to the public and continue the program? Join the fight for North Carolina’s Red Wolf on August 24th!
WHERE: Shelter #5 at Pullen Park – 408 Ashe Ave. Raleigh, NC 27606. Shelter 5 is located on the north side of the park, between the tennis courts and the Pullen Aquatic Center – parking is available next to the Shelter
