The endangered red wolf can survive in the wild, but only with “significant additional management intervention,” according to a long-awaited population viability analysis released Friday.
週五發佈一份期待已久的種群生存能力分析顯示，瀕臨滅絕的紅狼可以在野外生存，但前提是要有「大量額外的管理干預」。
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also released an updated recovery plan Friday for “Canis rufus” — the only wolf species unique to the United States. It calls for spending nearly $328 million over the next 50 years to get the red wolf off the endangered species list.
美國魚類和野生動物管理局週五還發佈一份最新的「Canis rufus」（紅狼學名）恢復計畫，這是美國唯一獨有特狼種。該局呼籲在未來50年花費近3.28億美元，將紅狼從瀕危物種名單中除名。
But the announcement comes with a lot of caveats. The viability analysis says it will take drastic reductions in gunshot and vehicle deaths, stepped-up efforts to prevent wolf-coyote mixing, and creative methods to increase reproduction in the wild and captive wolf populations.
但這一宣布也附帶很多警告。可行性分析表明，需要大幅減少槍擊和車輛死亡、加強防止狼與郊狼混合，並採取創造性方法，提升野生和圈養狼種群的繁殖。
