墨西哥灰狼的数量在2025年达到319只,接近恢复目标,但面临遗传和释放挑战。 Mexican gray wolf numbers hit 319 in 2025, nearing recovery goals but facing genetic and release challenges.

亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州的墨西哥灰狼人口在2025年达到319人,比2024年和连续第10年的生长期增加了33个狼人,使该物种更接近根据《濒危物种法》可能列入下限名单所需的320个狼人平均数。 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. 美国人 The U. S. The U.S. 渔业和野生生物服务局颁发了有限许可证,允许Catron县的牧场主杀死对牲畜攻击负有责任的一只狼,引发了关于在恢复与农业利益之间取得平衡的辩论。 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. 虽然人口数量在增加,但专家强调,由于物种的祖先有限,遗传多样性仍然是一个令人关切的主要问题,而目前的释放做法的失灵率很高。 While population numbers are rising, experts emphasize that genetic diversity remains a major concern due to the species’ limited ancestry, and current release practices have high failure rates. 长期恢复取决于持续的数量、遗传健康和成功释放俘获的狼。 Long-term recovery depends on sustained numbers, genetic health, and successful captive wolf releases.
