Colorado began reintroducing wolves 1 year ago. These are the struggles and triumphs of that year.
From Denver7.com:
GRAND COUNTY, Colo. — The accomplishments, turmoil and novelty of Colorado’s first gray wolf reintroduction exactly one year ago have captured the attention of the state and beyond, but controversy continues to follow the historic program as it heads into 2025.
In generalized terms, the past year looked a bit like this: Five wild wolves released. Another five released. The first calf killed. Outcry from ranchers. Adjustments. A string of more depredations. Wolf pups spotted. Outcry from ranchers. Adjustments. Outcry from ranchers. Adjustments. Another string of depredations. A wolf pack captured. Three dead wolves. Preparation for a second release. A petition to stop it.
Anguish. Hope. And lots and lots of questions.
