Wolves in Colorado: Stories & Science Webinar Series
After a nearly 80-year absence, gray wolves appear to be on the verge of returning to Colorado. In July 2019, a lone radio-collared wolf became the state’s first confirmed Canis lupus sighting in the wild in years. Then, in January, a separate pack appeared in Moffat County in northwest Colorado. This November, voters will go to the polls to determine the fate of Ballot Proposition 114 which, if passed, would charge the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission with formally reintroducing wolves no later than 2023.
In this special webinar series, we’ll explore wolf reintroduction through the lens of science, policy, and lived experiences. Our diverse group of panelists will discuss the current state of wolf populations, dive into the data about the species’ role in the ecosystem, talk trade-offs, and hear firsthand stories from those who’ve already been living amongst wolves in other parts of the U.S.
Oct 8: Community Perspectives and Conflict over Wolves
Oct 15: The Values and Costs of Wolves
Oct 22: The Experience of Living With Wolves
Registration is now open for the wolf webinar series, presented by CSU and Denver Museum of Nature and Science Institute for Science and Policy.
