Rocky Mountain Wolf Project launches anti-poaching reward

From the Alamosa Citizen:

The Durango-based non-profit Rocky Mountain Wolf Project is launching a $50,000 wolf anti-poaching reward – called the Colorado Wolf Reward – that will compensate people who share information leading to formal charges against those who illegally kill wolves in Colorado.

Gray wolves are a state and federally protected species and killing them is only allowed under exceptional circumstances, such as in defense of oneself or livestock, or after a wolf has killed livestock. The Federal Endangered Species Act and Colorado state statutes and regulations prohibit harassing, harming, or killing wolves.
