A second group of wolves has been released in Colorado as part of a controversial, voter-driven initiative to reintroduce the predators to the state. Fifteen gray wolves from Canada were set free in the central mountains over three days last week,

This week, more wolves were released in Colorado as part of an initiative to reintroduce the species to the state. The gray wolf has been endangered in the United States for many years, and recent poaching and habitat loss have further diminished their numbers.

The controversial effort to bring gray wolves back has had mixed success. Of the first 10 wolves brought in from Oregon, dubbed the Copper Creek pack, just six remain in the wild, with one having been recaptured and three killed, Coloradoan.com reported.

One of Colorado’s reintroduced wolves wandered farther southeast over the last month, exploring territory not yet traveled by any of the state’s collared wolves.

Colorado wildlife officials released 15 wolves from Canada into the central mountains over the last week as part of the second wave of the state’s historic, voter-mandated reintroduction of the native predator.

Otter Products, a Fort Collins-based company that makes protective cases and accessories for smart phones and tablets, could potentially pass higher prices onto consumers if new tariffs make its products more expensive to produce, company spokesperson Kristen Tatti said in a statement.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife says 15 more wolves are now in the state as part of the revitalization effort for the species. The animals were released in Eagle and Pitkin Counties.
