Colorado Parks and Wildlife released its second annual report on wolves, providing an overview of the agency’s management, monitoring, conflict mitigation, and research as it reintroduces the animal in Colorado.
The report covers the second biological wolf year, only including activities between April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. This means the document does not include recent livestock attacks, new denning activity, and five additional wolf deaths, including Parks and Wildlife’s lethal removal of a Copper Creek yearling after chronic depredation activity in Pitkin County.

In lower Saxony, in 2022, a wolf attacked and killed Dolly, Ursula von der Leyen’s favourite pony. Strategically, this was a terribly poor move on the wolf’s part. The president of the European Commission mission voted last year to downgrade the wolf’s level of protection, and on Monday, that directive formally entered into force. With it began a whole new chapter of our relationship with the wolf.

This time the wolves took a calf. It was the eighth confirmed kill by the controversial pack in Pitkin County this year, adding to an already hefty financial toll for Colorado Parks and Wildlife and state taxpayers.
