I’m so happy to share some incredible news! After spending over 18 months in captivity, Asha — a beautiful Mexican wolf — and her young family have finally been freed.

Many of you will remember Asha from my earlier post urging people to sign the petition for her release. Twice, she made the brave journey north into New Mexico, crossing the human-made boundary of Interstate 40. For simply following her instincts and exploring new territory, she was captured and confined — taken from the wild she belonged to.

But thanks to the voices of people across the country who spoke up for her, Asha is free again. Alongside her mate, Arcadia, and their pups, she is now part of the wild once more. Together, they are known as the Quartz Pack — a name that feels as strong and enduring as their spirit.

This is more than just one family’s freedom. It’s a reminder of the resilience of wolves and their right to roam. Asha’s pups will also bring much-needed genetic diversity to the critically endangered population of Mexican wolves, also called lobos.

This victory belongs to everyone who refused to stay silent — and to Asha herself, who never gave up on the wild.

Here’s to the Quartz Pack, and to every wolf who still runs free. 🐺✨
