After a previous agreement fell through, Colorado has secured a source location for the second round of gray wolf reintroductions, which will begin this winter.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) announced on Friday that it had reached an agreement with the British Columbia Ministry of Water, Lands and Resource Stewardship in Canada. Between December 2024 and March 2025, up to 15 wolves will be captured from the Canadian province and translocated to Colorado.
“We are grateful to the B.C. Ministry of Water, Lands and Resource Stewardship for working with our agency on this critical next step in reintroducing gray wolves in the state,” said CPW Director Jeff Davis in a press release. “Their willingness and ability to work with another jurisdiction to support our conservation priorities, as they have in past translocation efforts, demonstrates their long-shared commitment to seeing this species succeed.”
Davis signed the agreement last week, he told Denver7 in an exclusive Friday morning interview.
