Controversial Wolf Reintroduction in Colorado Sparks Ranchers' Concerns

Colorado has released five gray wolves in a remote part of the Rocky Mountains as part of an ambitious reintroduction program, despite opposition from conservative rural areas. The wolves were set free from undisclosed locations, marking the beginning of the most significant wolf reintroduction effort in the US in almost three decades. The program aims to release 30 to 50 wolves within the next five years to fill in one of the last remaining major gaps in the western US for the species. While wildlife advocates are excited, ranchers are anxious about potential attacks on livestock.
