Communities across the western United States are grappling with escalating tensions as endangered gray wolves, including the rare Mexican gray wolf, increasingly come into conflict with human populations.

Reports of livestock losses and pets being attacked have prompted counties in New Mexico, California, and Oregon to declare states of emergency.

Local authorities are urging state and federal agencies to provide more tools for managing wolf populations while balancing conservation efforts.

Environmentalists emphasize the importance of protecting these wolves, whose numbers have shown steady growth in recent years, as they play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance.
