(COLORADO) – Wildlife officials in Colorado are continuing efforts to reintroduce gray wolves back into the state.
The gray wolf had historically inhabited Colorado but were rooted out by the 1940’s.
Colorado voters narrowly approved a measure in 2020 to reintroduce between 30-50 gray wolves by 2028.
The first batch of wolves that were reintroduced came from Oregon and were released in 2023.
The second phase of reintroduction took place this weekend as 15 wolves from British Columbia were released in Eagle and Pitkin counties.
Officials say each wolf is carefully selected, monitored by GPS collars and the public is encouraged to report sightings.
On Saturday, they also released four from the original Copper Creek Pack, which was established by two wolves from the original release in 2023.
“The four pups were released alongside one adult female so that the pups are able to better develop their hunting skills. This will further their chances of survival and support the goal of successfully restoring wolves in Colorado,” a Colorado Parks & Wildlife official said.
