Management Implications During release plans biological factors should be examined. These factors are prey availability within the area of release. Many areas have been invaded by human development so there should be a cooperative agreement between surrounding landowners and the federal lands. Many of the failed releases were due to the wolves leaving federal land. Social structure is a must among released wolves and to insure this structure family units should be released together. Red wolves that are in the relocation program should have been exposed to wild environments and been born in the wild (van Manen et. al. Journal of Wildlife Management 64(4): 200).
