Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1004 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY September 9, 2025: ‘El Lobo Returns’ Photography by ZUMA Partner newspaper The Albuquerque Journal photo-journalist Chancey Bush and story by staff writer Cathy Cook: The Mexican gray wolf, also known as ‘the lobo’, is the most endangered subspecies of gray wolf in North America. Once roaming widely across northern Mexico and the southwestern US, these wolves were driven to near extinction. Today, thanks to tireless conservation efforts, the lobo is making a fragile return and the Southwestern population of gray wolves has grown for the ninth consecutive year.

If passed, the Enhancing Safety for Animals Act would delist the Mexican gray wolf. Welcome to ‘El Lobo Returns’
