Colorado Governor, Wildlife Officials Urged to Adopt Clearer, Quicker Wolf Restoration Plan
Scientists, Organizations Say Hearings Should Focus On Clarifying Alternative Ways to Implementing Proposition 114
DENVER Dozens of organizations and scientists sent a letter to Gov. Jared Polis and the leaders of Colorado Parks and Wildlife today warning of a “perilously cumbersome process” already underway in developing a wolf restoration and management plan.
Proposition 114, the wolf reintroduction initiative approved by Colorado voters in November, requires such a plan to be developed on the basis of science and public hearings.
