Wildlife Wednesday: Otter Restoration
Otters were extirpated from New Mexico about 100 years ago, likely incidental victims of heavy trapping for beavers. But thanks to the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish’s ongoing reintroduction program, otters are now back in the state with their numbers growing and their range expanding.
James Stuart, nongame mammal specialist with the NMDGF, will discuss the game department’s successful otter restoration program on Nov. 13. He’s the featured speaker for the New Mexico Wildlife Federation’s “Wildlife Wednesday” event in November.
