Study of feasibility for the reintroduction of the mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), in Sierra de Cardos, Zacatecas
Abstract: The Mexican wolf is probably extinct in the wild and, the attempts that have been made, have not worked because they are still killing them, since they have only worked with the owners of the land, where they are freed, doing little work with the rural communities. That is why the socio-en...
