Is the wolf at the door? Conservation groups submitting an alternative plan for reintroduction.
, the two CPW groups have “uplifted the voices of ranchers, outfitters, trappers and hunters over others en route to a plan that is likely to limit the possibilities of wolves on the Colorado landscape.”
The second part of the plan is population goals. The conservation groups believe a minimum of 750 wolves is necessary for successful restoration; according to Larris, CPW seems to want to introduce only about 150 to 250 wolves.
The third part of the plan includes a vision for three stages of wolf management. In phase one, wolves would stay listed as endangered in the state to ensure the highest level of protection. CPW would introduce a breeding pair in each of the twelve newly identified zones, with a goal of those twelve pairs, as well as the current pack, to be successful for two years.
In phase three, wolves would be downlisted to a non-game species, meaning they are no longer endangered but can’t be hunted. Aubyn Royall, Colorado state director for the, said during the webinar that she’s noticed a focus on recreational hunting of wolves during the CPW engagement process. That goes against the intent of the ballot measure, which was to restore wolves as a non-game species, Royall says, adding that the CPW plan seems likely to include a phase four where wolves can be hunted.
