US-ENVIRONMENT-NATURE-WOLVES

A wolf stands inside it's enclosure at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (CWWC) in Divide, Colorado on March 28, 2023. CWWC's 35 acre property is home to 18 wolves, and offers daily tours. In 2020, Colorado voters passed Proposition 114, which required Colorado Parks and Wildlife to reintroduce gray wolves to designated lands on the western side of the Continental Divide no later than December 31, 2023. Wolves that have wandered into Colorado from the neighboring state of Wyoming have put ranchers on edge that their livestock may become prey, as well as presented challenges to the outcome of the reintroduction program.
