Wolf reintroduction

Wolf reintroduction involves the reintroduction of a portion of grey wolves in areas where native wolves have been extirpated. This is only considered though if suitable land and resources can be found for the target species. In the case of wolves this can be rather tricky as they need fairly large amounts of land to roam. This process often comes with conflict from parties who may oppose wolf reintroduction, and efforts are often large public issues. Over the past thirty years we have seen several wolf reintroduction efforts across the world in areas like Yellowstone, the Southern USA, Appalachia, Mexico, and throughout different parts of Europe. More than 30 subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, and grey wolves, as colloquially understood, comprise nondomestic/feral subspecies.
