River Otters Reintroduced to NM
Video Credit — Valerie Williams, Taos BLM Wildlife Biologist River Otter Press Release
A native New Mexican, once found in streams and rivers throughout the state, has returned home after a 60–year absence. Five river otters were released today in the waters of the Río Pueblo De Taos on Taos Pueblo.
The wild otters were captured and transported from Washington by USDA Wildlife Services and Taos Pueblo as part of a larger otter reintroduction program organized by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, Taos Pueblo, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the New Mexico Friends of River Otters (of which Amigos Bravos is an active member).

Amigos Bravos is a well-established nationally recognized state-wide river conservation organization guided by social justice principles and dedicated to preserving and restoring the ecological and cultural integrity of New Mexico’s rivers and watersheds. While rooted in science and the law, our work is inspired by the values and traditional knowledge of New Mexico’s diverse Hispanic and Native American land-based populations, with whom we work.
