By the Numbers: What Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Second Annual Wolf Report Reveals About Restoration
- The second annual wolf report from Colorado Parks and Wildlife details the agency’s efforts and findings from the biological wolf year spanning April 2024 through March 2025.
- The report follows the voter-mandated reintroduction started in December 2023, which included releasing 20 wolves over two years from Oregon and British Columbia.
- During this timeframe, fatalities occurred among some of the original 25 wolves reintroduced to Colorado and their offspring, and the wolves' territory extended from northern Jackson County down to Hinsdale County, with recent changes in their movement patterns observed.
- Officials reported an adult wolf survival rate of 75%, rejected one chronic depredation permit, compensated ranchers over $393,000 for livestock losses, and deployed 11.55 miles of fladry to reduce conflicts.
- The report suggests ongoing releases and management efforts will continue to maintain population stability and minimize conflicts as restoration progresses.
