Reintroduced Wolf Dies in Southwest Colorado

The death marks the sixth loss among 15 reintroduced wolves from British Columbia as Colorado continues its wildlife restoration efforts initiated in 2023.

  • On Oct. 30, Colorado Parks and Wildlife received a mortality signal from female gray wolf 2506's GPS collar, confirming her death in southwestern Colorado, the agency announced on Friday.
  • The wolf was one of 15 wolves translocated from British Columbia to Pitkin County and Eagle County, with her death marking the sixth among those 15 and the 12th overall in the program.
  • Federal wildlife officials are investigating the death because gray wolves are federally listed, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will perform a necropsy before determining cause.
  • British Columbia has paused the agreement to send wolves after recent developments, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife still plans releases this winter despite unclear sourcing amid federal guidance to stop Canadian imports.
  • The reintroduction has faced livestock conflict and management criticism; Colorado has relocated 25 wolves that formed four packs and produced at least 10 pups.
