Wolves from Canada arrive as Colorado wildlife officials refuse to release final destination details
- Wolves from British Columbia arrive in Colorado for reintroduction program. CPW remains tight-lipped on details of the operation.
The Colorado wolf reintroduction program, as detailed in the article from Colorado Politics, involves the state's efforts to reintroduce gray wolves into Colorado, following a voter-approved initiative in 2020. The program has faced several challenges including legal battles, with a recent ruling by a federal judge allowing the reintroduction to proceed despite opposition from the state of Wyoming and local ranchers. The initiative aims to restore ecological balance by bringing back wolves, which were eradicated from the state in the 1940s. The plan includes capturing wolves from Oregon, fitting them with tracking collars, and releasing them in Colorado, with the first releases planned for December 2023. The program has stirred controversy over potential impacts on livestock and local economies, leading to discussions on compensation for livestock losses and the management of wolf populations to mitigate conflicts with human activities.
