Red wolves are one of the rarest mammal species in the world, with only around 17 to 20 individuals currently left in the wild, all in eastern North Carolina. Dr. Ron Sutherland has been working to promote the recovery of red wolves since 2012, and he also launched an ongoing field study of red wolf ecology and prey dynamics in 2015. Ron will present some of the lessons he’s learned and insights he’s gained over the past decade, including new recommendations for kickstarting recovery efforts for this incredibly important, often misunderstood species.
