A state in the Pacific Northwest will provide the first gray wolves this winter for Colorado’s voter-mandated reintroduction of the species, state wildlife officials announced Friday.
Colorado wildlife officials tranquilized two wolves in North Park on Thursday Feb. 2, 2023, and fitted them with tracking collars. Up to 10 wolves will be supplied by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife over the winter. The agreement endsmonthslong search for a source population of the canine, the reintroduction of which has been controversial — especially among the state’s ranchers.
“We are deeply grateful for Oregon’s partnership in this endeavor, and we are now one step closer to fulfilling the will of the voters in time,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a news release.Wolves reintroduced into Colorado can be killed if they threaten people or livestock, federal officials decide
“Oregon has a long history of helping other states meet their conservation goals by providing animals for translocation efforts,” Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Curt Melcher said in the release. “Some of our wildlife populations were also restored thanks to other states doing the same for us, including Rocky Mountain elk, bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goat.
