 Interbreeding  Persecution by humans  Low population

o Procedures for proper care to maintain a healthy captive population. -It’s important to the environment in maintaining the carrying capacity. o Accurate records of births, deaths and lineages. - shows the progress of the program o Guidelines for using these records to make breeding decisions that preserve the genetic diversity of the species. - keeps species alive

o Plans for incorporating the animals into educational programs that teach about the importance of captive breeding and species conservation - so future generations of humans work to help keep the wolf species alive o If feasible, plans for the reintroduction of the species to the wild.

 Population shrink  This caused them to interbreed with Coyotes, in areas where red wolf numbers were particularly low, thus risking their species integrity.  They also analyzed how all the wolves in the population were related

 Being shot by humans, because the wolves were attacking live stock. The wolves weren’t liked very much because of this  Very shallow gene pool because their population had dropped so low that only one standing female was known to exist.
