Fort Collins Coloradoan
The last time Colorado reintroduced a predator, it might have included a few beers, a campfire and a rafting trip.
The state s first and to date only reintroduction of a predator dates to 1999, when the then-Colorado Division of Wildlife (now called Colorado Parks and Wildlife) returned lynx to the state.
Proposition 114 passed by just less than 2%, making it the first time a state has passed legislation to reintroduce wildlife.
Fort Collins resident Rick Kahn remembers the day in 1997 when the idea to reintroduce lynx, which were largely lost from the Colorado landscape by the first half of the 1900s, was spawned.
