FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, FEB. 22, 2016<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Game Commission to meet Feb. 26 in Albuquerque<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/h1>\n

SANTA FE \u2013 The New Mexico Game Commission will have a special meeting Friday, Feb. 26, in Albuquerque to hear a request by the Turner Endangered Species Fund to import five Mexican Wolves and temporarily hold them at its Ladder Ranch facility in southern New Mexico.<\/p>\n

The meeting will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Albuquerque Marriott, Acoma Room, 2101 Louisiana Blvd.<\/p>\n

The Turner Endangered Species Fund, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Mexican Government wish to hold the wolves at the Ladder Ranch before they are exported to a facility in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, for eventual release into the wild in Mexico. The temporary stay at the Ladder Ranch would allow the wolves to rest during the long journey from the state of Washington, where they currently are held.<\/p>\n

The full\u00a0agenda<\/b><\/a>, detailed agenda-item briefing and other information are available on the Department of Game and Fish website. Details of proposed rules and opportunities to comment about them also are available on the website,\u00a0www.wildlife.state.nm.us<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0State Game Commission<\/b><\/a>\u00a0is composed of seven members who represent the state\u2019s diverse interests in wildlife-associated recreation and conservation. Members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. Current members are Chairman Paul Kienzle, Vice-chairman Bill Montoya, Thomas \u201cDick\u201d Salopek, Robert Espinoza Sr., Ralph Ramos, Bob Ricklefs and Elizabeth Ryan.<\/p>\n
