DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife released a new wolf movement map on Thursday, showing an overarching view of where wolves are generally roaming the state.
The agency said that one female gray wolf made “significant” movements in Colorado, covering over 1,230 miles since being relocated into the Centennial State.

A gray wolf has died in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said Thursday afternoon, marking the third wolf translocated from Canada to Colorado to die since their release in January.
CPW said the female wolf’s collar sent a mortality alert to biologists on April 20.

Federal agents admit they mistakenly killed an endangered wolf in eastern Arizona, which might have been pregnant after an order was given to kill a different wolf. While conservationists say it’s a tragedy, ranchers in the area say the wolves have become a problem. The once-abundant Mexican gray wolves were considered extinct in the wild until about 25 years ago. Today, thanks to conservation efforts, there are over 280 Mexican wolves in the U.S. spread across Arizona and New Mexico.
But wolves have been killing cattle in eastern Arizona and New Mexico. Incidents in Greenlee County sparked a recent kill order that happened on federal public land, which ranchers also lease to graze their cattle.

NC State’s red wolf conservation efforts were introduced to a national audience, thanks to a segment on the Today show. While the NC State Wolfpack regularly makes headlines for athletics, groundbreaking research and community initiatives, it was the university’s much rarer red wolves that made national news this week. For a special Earth Week segment on the Today show, NBC’s Emilie Ikeda interviewed College of Veterinary Medicine faculty and students about their conservation efforts to help the most endangered wolf in the world.

Wolves have filled humans with wonder throughout our history, and they have been featured in art and mythology for thousands of years. Today, hikers who witness the carnivores on the trail may be struck with a sense of fear or even awe before they reach for their smartphone. But farmers trying to protect their sheep might have a different reaction to a wolf than a city dweller trying to photograph the predator for a post on Instagram.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking qualified stakeholder applicants to serve on the DNR’s Wolf Advisory Committee (WAC). Applications will be accepted until Sunday, May 4, at 11:59 p.m.
The purpose of the WAC is to assist the DNR with the implementation of the Wisconsin Wolf Management Plan. Approved in 2023, the plan details the objectives, strategies and products that will help guide wolf conservation and management efforts in Wisconsin.

A federal agency mistakenly killed an endangered and possibly pregnant Mexican gray wolf in Arizona, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a memo earlier this month.
An unknown agency killed a 7-year-old wolf named Asiza on April 14. The incident came after the Mexican wolf coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Brady McGee, authorized the USDA’s Wildlife Services to kill an uncollared wolf in the Bear Canyon pack in Greenlee County.
In the order, he specifically said only an uncollared wolf should be killed so the collared wolves remained in the pack. The directive also said officials were not to kill a breeding female wearing a broken radio collar, which was Asiza, “who will likely whelp a new litter of pups soon.”

SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — In far Northern California, beneath a towering mountain ridge still covered in April snow, one of the state’s last cowboys stood in the tall green grass of a pasture he tends describing what he sees as the one blight on this otherwise perfect landscape: wolves.
“I hate ‘em,” said Joel Torres, 25, his easy smile fading as he explained what the apex predators do to the cattle in his care at Prather Ranch, an organic farm in Siskiyou County dedicated to raising beef in a natural, stress-free environment. “They’ve just been tearing into our baby calves, mostly our yearlings.”

For the first time in 16 years, Washington state’s overall gray wolf population decreased from the year before, based on information gathered by the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife and its tribal partners, including the Spokane Tribe of Indians, the Swinomish Tribe, the Yakama Nation and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. However, recovery goals were met in multiple regions, and the presence of wolf packs increased slightly.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
