Question

Reintroducing species to their native habitats is sometimes controversial. One reintroduction effort in particular that has caused quite a stir is the reintroduction of the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) into New Mexico and Arizona. You can read about this project at http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf/ (Links to an external site.) Why might it be important to reintroduce species into their native habitats? Answer first in general terms, then specifically for the Mexican gray wolf. what factors could impede the success of such reintroductions? Again, answer in general terms first, then specifically for the Mexican gray wolf.
