Expressing support for continued Federal commitment to repopulation and recovery efforts for the red wolf in North Carolina and across the country.

This is a House resolution (non-binding) expressing support for continued federal leadership and funding of red wolf repopulation and recovery efforts. It outlines the red wolf’s endangered status and ecological importance, notes the Red Wolf Recovery Program and a growing captive population, and highlights that the wild red wolf population currently survives only in eastern North Carolina (about 15 individuals). The resolution also mentions bipartisan actions that have approved wildlife corridors, specifically along Route 64 in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge to protect red wolves and improve driver safety. The core message is that ongoing federal commitment, in partnership with state, local, educational, and nonprofit entities across the country, is needed for recovery.
