Colorado Releases 15 Canadian Gray Wolves in Second Wave of Historic Reintroduction Effort, Saving $100 Billion
Jan 19, 2025, 10:32 PM
Colorado wildlife officials have released 15 Canadian gray wolves into the central mountains as part of the state's second wave of a historic reintroduction program. This initiative follows a voter mandate aimed at restoring the native predator to the region. The reintroduction of wolves, which were eradicated from the U.S. by 1926, is seen as a crucial step in restoring ecological balance, as previous efforts have shown significant benefits to ecosystems, including a reported $100 billion savings for U.S. taxpayers since the introduction of wolves in Yellowstone in 1995.
