Wildlife experts are capturing gray wolves from Canada to release them in Colorado, aiming to double the state's recently reintroduced population. The wolves will be flown to western Colorado after being captured in British Columbia. This effort comes after the 2023 reintroduction of gray wolves, which were previously eradicated from Colorado in the 1940s due to hunting, trapping, and poisoning.
Wildlife experts are in the process of capturing gray wolves from Canada in order to release them in Colorado , effectively doubling the state’s small, recently reintroduced population.
The move comes after the state in 2023 reintroduced gray wolves, which were exterminated from Colorado in the 1940s through hunting, trapping and poisoning because the wolves had been targeting cattle and livestock. Releasing the Canadian gray wolves will more than double the animal’s population in the state — and officials are just getting started.
