A team from Colorado Parks and Wildlife has begun capturing grey wolves in British Columbia to relocate to Colorado. The operation, lasting up to two weeks, aims to introduce up to 15 wolves annually over the next three to five years, following an agreement with the British Columbia government. The wolves will be tested, treated for disease, and collared before being released to help recover and maintain a self-sustaining wolf population in Colorado.
DENVER — A wildlife team from the United States has begun an operation to capture grey wolves in British Columbia for release in Colorado .
Colorado Parks says in a statement that the capture operation follows work to adopt measures that will minimize conflict between wolves and livestock. The state says the B.C. wolves will be tested and treated for disease before they are relocated, and collars will be placed on the animals to monitor their behaviours.
“This new source population of grey wolves will provide additional genetic diversity to Colorado’s wolf population,” he says.
