Threats to the Alexander Archipelago Wolf are primarily hunting (both legal and illegal), loss of habitat as forests are logged and roads are built, and the decline of Sitka black-tailed deer population as the old-growth forests are developed. The Alexander Archipelago wolf mainly inhabited in rocky mountains and areas around the Alexander Archipelago. Clearcut logging on the Tongass National Forest and adjacent state and private lands destroys and fragments the old-growth forest habitat that wolves rely on for raising pups and hunting their primary prey, Sitka black-tailed deer.
