Wolves in Colorado are here. I believe we have never fully lost them as part of their historic natural habitat and migration paths.[1] In 2020, Coloradoans voted to “reintroduce” Wolves to their native Rocky Mountain Regions in Colorado.[2] For the genetic biodiversity needed for our existing Wolves to grow healthy enough in numbers to self sustain, we need to introduce new wolves to the territory...
The fact that Canis Lupus (Wolf) is a Keystone Species – a species without whom an ecosystem will collapse - and Apex Predator - top of its food chain- makesit in our ecosystem’s best interest for Wolves to regain their presence in Colorado. The success story of Yellowstone National Park ‘s Wolf Reintroduction Program is an example of this.[3]
