Colorado Parks and Wildlife held its second wolf reintroduction education session last week with a focus on what other states have done when releasing wolves and managing conflicts with livestock.
One of the speakers, Ed Bangs, was the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s grey wolf recovery coordinator for the Northwest United States from 1988 until he retired in 2011.
“Wildlife reintroductions are a dime a dozen. You can’t hardly think of an animal that hasn’t been reintroduced,” Bangs said. “Doing it with wolves is novel only because people get excited about it.”
This was the second of three information sessions put on by CPW as it plans how it will fulfill Colorado voter’s direction to reintroduce wolves by the end of 2023. Bangs said managing wolves is more about managing how people view them, as the species itself isn’t difficult to manage.
