Wolf Conservation Efforts

Hello! Hello! I know ya’ll are waiting for my post about wolf 2506F, but instead of keeping you bored of waiting for THAT post, I decided to give you a post to read whilst you’re waiting on the post about 2506F! Today by the title, I’m going to talk about the process of the wolf reintroduction, aka I’m going to talk about Partnerships with other states and countries, and what happens when the day comes when it’s time to reintroduce the wolves! Hope u enjoy this post that was actually supposed to come out AFTER the 2506F post but I couldn’t keep you waiting!

PARTNERSHIPS

The partnership with Oregon was what lead to Prop ballot 114 in Colorado which passed in 2020 to reintroduce wolves from Oregon into Colorado, west of the Continental Divide in late 2023 and early 2024, the CPW (Colorado Parks and Wildlife) in late 2023 released 5 wolves, and in early 2024, released 5 more wolves in the same area.

Colorado’s partnership with British Colombia allowed CPW to reintroduce 15 wolves into Colorado in late 2024 and early 2025.

We don’t know what the next partnership Colorado will make to reintroduce the third batch of wolves, but CPW is trying to get a partnership with Canada themselves, but the Trump Administration is preventing CPW from partnering with Canada and instead making them partner with Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming but those states would rather see their wolves DEAD than relocated. (Fingers crossed that CPW can get wolves from Canada!)

THE PROCESS

After the Partnerships are completed the people who would capture the wolves would put them in kennels and transport them to the place where they’re going to be released. Once the day comes to release them into the wild, the wolf management program would softly open the kennels that the wolves were kept in so they could radio collar them so they would be able to track their movements, and then the wolves could explore their new home.

This post explains the steps of a wolf reintroduction. Thank you for reading this post! Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas!
