What Trump’s Order to Delist Gray Wolves Means for Colorado’s Reintroduction
The order gives the Interior Department 90 days to decide whether gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves can be removed from federal protections.
- On Friday, Sept. 4, President Donald Trump signed the 'Supporting America's Ranchers' executive order, directing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine within 90 days whether gray and Mexican gray wolves should be delisted from the Endangered Species Act.
- Rep. Jeff Hurd, a Republican representing Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, applauded the order, noting producers have "lost livestock" and spent nights protecting herds without adequate legal tools to combat predation.
- The documentary *The Last Howl* began streaming Wednesday in Canada on The Green Channel, offering a 20-year perspective on the human-wolf bond amid the current federal policy shift on predator management.
- Mike Senatore, senior vice president of conservation programs at Defenders of Wildlife, criticized the order as a "relentless and misguided attack," arguing the administration should invest in nonlethal tools proven to deter wolves.
- While federal delisting would render Colorado's special 10 rule moot, state wildlife officials maintain management tools would remain largely similar under local authority as the state oversees its estimated 32 wolves.
