Mexican gray wolf numbers hit 319 in 2025, nearing recovery goals but facing genetic and release challenges.
The Mexican gray wolf population in Arizona and New Mexico reached 319 in 2025, a 33-wolf increase from 2024 and the tenth consecutive year of growth, bringing the species closer to the 320-wolf average needed for potential downlisting under the Endangered Species Act.

Fish and Wildlife Service issued a limited permit allowing ranchers in Catron County to kill one wolf responsible for livestock attacks, sparking debate over balancing recovery with agricultural interests.

Long-term recovery depends on sustained numbers, genetic health, and successful captive wolf releases.
