Saving Endangered Red Wolves

Fewer than 25 red wolves remain in the wild, with five killed by vehicle strikes this year alone in North Carolina. These devastating losses, including that of two-year-old Muppet, highlight the urgent need for a wildlife crossing to protect this endangered species.

A generous donor has pledged a $2 million match for a Red Wolf Wildlife Crossing Fund. However, we must raise an additional $2 million in matching funds by August 31st to secure crucial federal funding for its construction.

Help secure a safer future for red wolves. Join the campaign and contribute today: biologicaldiversity.org
