Colorado Wolf Reintroduction Spring 2024

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued its final decision on Colorado's reintroduction of gray wolves.

The 10(j) rule under the Endangered Species Act went into effect on Dec. 8th, 2023. Under this rule, wolves will no longer be considered an endangered species in Colorado, and will be considered an experimental population. As such, they can be killed if they attack livestock and working dogs and if their predation on ungulates on tribal lands has a significant impact. Killing wolves would not be allowed if there is any evidence of baiting them. Members of our group, who care a lot about wolves, are keeping a close watch on the reintroduction process.
