Red Wolf Conservation

A volunteer organization run by veterinary students and veterinary faculty.

NC State Carnivore Conservation Crew

Students, faculty and clinicians at the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine play an important role in helping save the critically endangered red wolf species.

The NC State Carnivore Conservation Crew is a volunteer organization run by veterinary students and veterinary faculty. We provide medical and husbandry services for a pack of red wolves. Currently, NC State has a pack of 4 wolves including a breeding pair. We partner closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan to help save these red wolves as they are the most critically endangered canine species in the world.

The NC State Veterinary Medicine team recently worked with U.S. Fish and Wildlife and other conservation partners to release some endangered red wolves back into the wild. Read more.
