Approximately 200 black-footed ferret kits from captivity are released into the wild each year. Currently there are 11 release sites in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming and Mexico. Many agencies and organizations are involved in black-footed ferret recovery Black-Footed Ferrets have been reintroduced into six western states: Arizona, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. They have also been released in the Chihuahua desert of northern Mexico. Surveys indicate that approximately 700 ferrets now live in the wild!
