2020 Ballot question: Proposition 114, reintroduction and management of gray wolves
From the Ark Valley Voice: Proposition 114 is an emotionally charged question that asks voters to direct Colorado Parks and Wildlife to reintroduce gray wolves in Colorado starting in 2023. There are currently wolf populations in the Northern Rockies as well as packs to the south of Colorado. Theoretically, wolf reintroduction in Colorado would connect […]
Colorado Politics: 114’s ‘ballot box biology’ will backfire

There are lots of issues to consider such as human safety, livestock, hunters, re-establishment of natural ecosystems, and the plight […]
Colorado Proposition 114 Endorsement: Yes on gray wolves reintroduction
From The Denver Post: Coloradans are being asked to weigh a critical question this fall — would western Colorado be better off with a wolf population than it is without this apex predator roaming public and private lands. Opponents of a ballot measure asking Coloradans for the needed legislative permission to reintroduce the gray wolf […]
