NAU Capstone

NAU Capstone
Human Impacts on Mexican Grey Wolf Genetics
We explored how human activity shapes the future of the endangered Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi). These wolves are vital to the health of ecosystems in the Southwest, yet their recovery is deeply influenced by human decisions about land, livestock, and policy.
