  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called for coordination with the United States to protect the endangered Mexican gray wolf, a species found on both sides of the border.
  • Her comments followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s order directing a review of protections for gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act.
  • Sheinbaum said international protocols protect endangered species and that the Mexican wolf remains protected in Mexico.

Claudia Sheinbaum called for Mexico and the United States to coordinate on protecting the Mexican gray wolf, after Donald Trump ordered a review that could remove protections for gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves in the United States.

The Mexican president described the animal as a cross-border species endangered in both countries. Trump’s executive order instructed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine whether gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves still meet the criteria for protection under the Endangered Species Act.

The Mexican wolf is a cross-border species. It is not only in the United States, it is also in Mexico, and it is called the Mexican wolf.

· Claudia SheinbaumSheinbaum explained why the two countries need to coordinate on protecting the species.

Asked about the issue at the National Palace, Sheinbaum said Mexico already protects the species and pointed to international protocols for endangered wildlife. She explained that protection levels can vary depending on the number of surviving specimens and the species’ status.

“Obviously, what has to happen between the United States and Mexico is coordination,” Sheinbaum said. “We will see whether this actually happens, because it should not be otherwise. Beyond the fact that they are on both sides of the border, it is a species we must conserve.”
