LOBOS: A Wolf Family Returns to the Wild

The story of the Lobo family, Hopa (F1222) and Brother (M1067). Wildlife photographer Annie Marie Musselman and Brenda Peterson began the LOBOS story in their photo-essay book WOLF HAVEN: Sanctuary and the Future of Wolves in North America. They were fortunate enough to follow this story from the captive-born wolves to their final release into the wild—the largest release of a wolf family in Mexico or America. That successful conservation story is worth celebrating as wolves and the Endangered Species Act were again under siege by the Trump administration. Begin the story in WOLF HAVEN and read about the transport and wild release in WOLF NATION. Photos by Annie Marie Musselman.
