Past, Present and Future of Wolves: Restoring through Reintroductions

- There have been several successful reintroductions of species in Colorado, like moose, lynx, river otters and more. Learn how these wildlife successes are guiding the reintroduction of gray wolves in Colorado.
As gray wolves become a part of Colorado’s landscape once again, learn about this species and Colorado’s reintroduction process that aims to balance priorities for both wolves and people. Join Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to explore the past, present and future of gray wolves in Colorado in this four-part series geared towards grades K-12. For more information on the gray wolf reintroduction in Colorado, visit cpw.state.co.u...
CPW is a joke, funny how those most impacted by this mess had no voice in it.
It's remarkable to me that people who claim to understand and respect wildlife--unlike those Front Range folks--don't understand the fundamental ecological relationship of predators and prey. Elk NEED wolves, just as much as wolves need elk. One of the biggest threats to Colorado's elk is CWD (other than habitat loss and a warming climate). Wolves will help control the spread of CWD.
More ecology and biology classes need be required in CO for getting a high school diploma. This would help with all the political BS.
Time will tell and show us how the re-introduction of wolves will work out for all.
Thank you CPW for using Otters, Lynx, BF Ferret examples of reintroduction in the video and NOT the bogus moose introduction. (Although you do mention “moose” erroneously in the video’s description) Moose were never native to Colorado by the agency’s (and reputable science) own admission, and introduced by the agency for hunting and wildlife viewing opps. It seems like that fact is getting lost in some communications of late, including the Colorado Wildlife Council…
Very excited that it’s finally happening! My biggest interest is what the policy is regarding potential interactions between Northern Rockies gray wolves and Mexican wolves to the south. Is there a plan in place that considers potential hybridization or direct and indirect competition between the two subspecies?
These 2 ”subspecies” overlapped in range for thousands of years - maybe decades from now when all the politically driven control agencies (state G&F departments) lighten up, there may exist a new ‘intergrade layer’ but nothing to be concerned about…
How stupid I don’t look forward to seeing them in utah.
This lady probably has a degree from boulder college.
Romance over Reality Total BS
Y’all take credit for re-introduction when these animals clock in and out of this matrix I’ve got pictures of wolves two years ago in La Plata‘s. Kind of like Bigfoot
Same here seen a couple on Buff pass "Steamboat" in 2004 winter.
Living up there locals will tell stories of them all the way back to the early 90's. Same with Lynx.
I saw one last year in Grand Co, near Byers Canyon
CPW and scientists have never claimed that wolves have not been sighted in the state. However it is a FACT that there has not been a viable population in the state since they were extirpated in the 1940’s… nobody cares if you think you saw one in the past…
