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.

BOISE (Idaho Capital Sun) – Thirty years after wolves were brought back from near extinction in the U.S. Rocky Mountains, the state of Idaho is back in the wolf-killing business.
Based on direction from the Idaho Fish and Game Commission, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game is working to reduce the state’s wolf population by more than 60% over six years.

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.

The same day the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission was busy approving a $100,045 payment to a Colorado rancher for the losses in cattle he sustained at the jaws of the Copper Creek wolf pack in 2024, that same pack, rereleased earlier this year, killed again.
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.
