Letter to the Editor: Bridging the divide: A northern Arizona perspective on wolf recovery

Letters

As Catron County, New Mexico, declares a state of emergency over the presence of Mexican gray wolves, calling for military support and emergency funding, Cochise County, Arizona, is now facing similar pressures. Recently, the Cochise County Board of Supervisors discussed a resolution advocating for the delisting or downlisting of Mexican gray wolves, a move that threatens to reverse decades of conservation progress.

But just a few hours north, Flagstaff offers a different perspective. In 2021, our city council unanimously passed a resolution in strong support of the Endangered Species Act and of restoring wolves to our region, recognizing that a healthy planet is foundational to our economy, society and culture. The contrast is stark, but it doesn’t have to be divisive.
