The red wolf once roamed freely over most of the southwest United States. Persecution by humans and habitat destruction, however, have resulted in near extinction for this species. The red wolf was bred in captivity by scientists and is now being gradually introduced back into the wild. This book provides a valuable lesson on food webs, interconnections, and the importance of preservation and conservation for the survival of healthy ecosystems. An excellent non-fiction choice with many references to North Carolina.
