Gov. Jared Polis traveled across the Western Slope on Monday to sign several bills, ranging from issues like highway safety, wildfire mitigation and species conservation.
In particular, Polis signed the proposal to reintroduce wolverines to Colorado and the state’s wildlife division is to bring 45 of them over three years.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will introduce 30 female and 15 male wolverines over a three-year period in hopes of boosting the species’ population, as only about 300 wolverines remain in the contiguous United States.
