Washington Rejects Colorado Wolf Translocation
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Washington Commissions Decision Not to Send Wolves to Colorado: A Strategic Move for Local RecoveryThe Washington Fish and Wildlife Commissions recent decision not to send wolves to Colorado was not an opposition to Colorados wolf recovery efforts, but a strategic move to prioritize Washingtons own wolf population. With a nine percent decline in 2024 and breeding pairs dropping from twenty-three to eighteen, Washington cannot afford to give up its wolves. The commissions decision was also influenced by the successful fight against downgrading wolves from endangered to sensitive status in Washington. Meanwhile, Colorados wolf restoration faces unique challenges due to surrounding states threats to wolves. Conservationists are urged to work together and avoid polarization to protect wolves across the West.
