Where they at tho?

WHERE ARE ALL THE ETHIOPIAN WOLVES AT THOUGH? Well I can answer that for you. Only about 500 of them are left in the wild! In my opinion this is heartbreaking. The population is mostly found along the Ethiopian Highlands, the Simon Mountains, southeast of the Rift Valley, and around a few more mountains and other highland areas. The species was listed as critically endangered from 1996 was was classified as endangered in the year of 2004. What makes this the most sad is how most of the population drop is from mostly humans. The major reasons are from the loss of their habitats from commercial farming, agriculture, and human development, getting rabies and diseases, road killings, shootings, climate warming, and human persecution. More people need to help with saving the Ethiopian Wolf species. To do that, you could check out the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme or for more facts click here. After reading my paragraph, what do you think should change with helping out these wolves? or shall I say wolf since there are so few left...(sad emoji)
