Colorado wildlife agents shot and killed two yearling wolves from separate packs on Sept. 7, after the wolves killed multiple livestock over three months in Pitkin and Rio Blanco counties.
Wolf advocate Courtney Vail, board chair of the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project, said she has questions over how Colorado Parks and Wildlife determined the wolves were responsible for the attacks.

President Donald Trump ordered the federal government to look at delisting gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves over the next 90 days.
In Colorado, where voters mandated the reintroduction of gray wolves in 2020, the change in federal protections would have little impact on how the state manages the species.

When Nikita Compton came across a small pack of four animals during an outdoors trip on Monday, she thought she was looking at a group of coyotes.
But in the days since, thousands of eagle-eyed watchers have put what she saw up for interpretation.

While ranchers across the West welcomed this month’s presidential order to review the legal status of livestock-killing wolves, more cattle have been killed this year by grizzly bears than by wolves in areas where the predator species overlap.

Colorado’s collared gray wolves explored across the Western Slope in September, with movements extending south through the San Juan Mountains as pack activity persists in the north.
This is according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s monthly wolf activity map, which highlights the watersheds where collared wolves were located between Aug. 25 and Sept. 22.

Genetic monitoring carried out by the Conservation Carpathia Foundation in the Southern Carpathians showed a dramatic decrease in wolves, which, counterintuitively, may lead to more interactions with humans.

Mexico’s Mexican wolf conservation program depends on coordinated management between government agencies, conservation institutions, and livestock producers in Mexico and the United States.
Changes to the species’ US protection status could affect cross-border genetic management and recovery protocols, while Mexico faces domestic challenges related to reintroduction, livestock predation, monitoring, and compensation mechanisms.

Following President Donald Trump’s executive order earlier this month to remove the gray wolf from the federal endangered species list, Wisconsin’s gubernatorial election will determine the direction of future management of the wolf population in the state.
From Rocky Mountain PBS:
In 2020, for the first time in American history, Coloradans voted to reintroduce a wildlife species to the state: the gray wolf (Canis lupus). In December 2023, new paws hit the ground, and the disagreements heated up.

On 8 May 2020, the Federal Council opened the consultation on the revised hunting ordinance.
After an initial review, the Swiss Animal Protection STS concludes: what applies to the law applies equally to the draft ordinance. The regulatory framework is a bow to hunters and wolf opponents.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
