Summary: Demonized for centuries in literature, pop culture, and global public policy, many canid species are on the edge of extinction. Ginny Busch, CEO of the Endangered Wolf Center describes their work preserving Mexican Gray Wolves, African Painted Dogs, and the most endangered of all, the Red Wolf. The center breeds and introduces pups into the wild by partnering with government agencies. Success depends on listening to and educating communities about the importance of predators to restoring healthy ecosystems.
