This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong support for continued Federal commitment to the repopulation and recovery of the red wolf across the country, particularly in North Carolina. It underscores the red wolf's status as an endangered species, unique to North America, and its vital role as an apex predator in its ecosystem. The resolution acknowledges the historical Red Wolf Recovery Program, established in 1973, which led to the first reintroduction of a carnivorous species declared extinct in the wild. It highlights the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's sponsorship of this crucial program and the dedicated work of numerous individuals and institutions supporting the 270 captive red wolves and the estimated 15 wild individuals remaining in eastern North Carolina. Furthermore, it recognizes the importance of initiatives like wildlife corridors , such as those planned for Route 64, which enhance ecological connectivity, mitigate habitat fragmentation, and provide safe passage for both wildlife and motorists, emphasizing the need for collaborative partnerships among Federal, State, local, educational, and nonprofit entities.
