Colorado Parks and Wildlife releases 20 wolves in Eagle and Pitkin counties

The article from Colorado Politics discusses the relocation of wolves in Colorado as part of a voter-approved initiative to reintroduce the species. On February 18, 2024, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) released five gray wolves in Eagle County, marking the second phase of the reintroduction program. These wolves, originally from Oregon, were fitted with tracking collars to monitor their movements and adaptation. The release was part of an effort to restore ecological balance and biodiversity, despite some local opposition due to concerns over livestock predation. The wolves, consisting of two juvenile females, two juvenile males, and one adult male, were released in an area intended to minimize conflicts with human activities. The initiative aims to eventually release up to 50 wolves over several years, with the goal of establishing a self-sustaining population.
