Amid 10 dead wolves and federal interference, Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program is struggling
From ColoradoSun.com:
Colorado’s wolf restoration program is struggling amid federal roadblocks over where the state can source new wolves for reintroduction and the death of a 10th translocated wolf.
The latest wolf fatality, announced Friday, puts the survival rate for the reintroduced wolves at 60%. That’s well below the anticipated survival rate of 70% to 85% for the early years of Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program, according to the Colorado Wolf Management Plan. CPW released 10 wolves in December 2023 and another 15 in January 2025.
