The Endangered Species Act has pulled both grizzly bears and wolves back from the brink of extinction in the U.S. But as politics and human expansion become worse, will recovery continue, and do we have the will to make it so?
Those were the questions that two eminent biologists tried to address Wednesday night in a presentation titled “The Future of Grizzlies and Wolves In Montana.” The recorded wolf howls that greeted approximately 200 people who entered the Wilma Theater were a signal of what was in store during the discussion. Meanwhile, displayed on the screen, grizzly bears ambled through forests or tugged on bison carcasses.

With more wolves on the way, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is hosting several trainings this fall to help ranchers learn about nonlethal mitigation strategies.
The state wildlife agency has partnered on the training sessions with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, the Colorado State University Extension and the Wildlife Services arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
So far, the agency has announced four free meetings, two of which were held in Moffat and Routt counties this week.
The next two trainings will be hosted in Meeker and Glenwood Springs in November. The Colorado Department of Agriculture says more meetings are being planned.
