Transportation in a Time of Coronavirus

 Transporting animals across the country can be difficult under the best of times.  

2020 has not been the best of times.  

Matters get even more complicated when you aren't talking about simply moving an animal from one zoo to another, but are talking about releasing a government owned, native, endangered species back into the wild.  Still, conservation work never stops, even in the midst of a global pandemic (though it sure as heck has slowed it down on many fronts).  Enjoy this article from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums on the successful struggle to transport Mexican wolves to the wild during difficult circumstances.
