Mexican Wolf out of the "EXTINCT" category

 Semarnat changed it from category to species in ‘Danger of Extinction’, thanks to the reintroduction efforts made since 2011 in the Janos Biosphere Reserve

The howl of the Mexican Wolf, declared “Extinct of the Wild Environment” since the end of the 70s for indiscriminate hunting, hears louder and louder, especially now that the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat), has changed from category to species in “Extinction Hazard”, thanks to the reintroduction efforts made since 2011 in the Janos Biosphere Reserve in Chihuahua and its area of influence.

The foregoing as part of the update of the Official Mexican Standard 059, published Thursday in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF), which includes modifications for the inclusion, exclusion or changes in the List of Species at Risk, pending since 2015.
