Colorado Parks and Wildlife director responds to concerns about bringing wolves in from Canada

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is moving forward with their wolf reintroduction plan even as they face additional challenges around where the wolves will come from.

This comes after a former U.S. representative for Colorado who, along with other stakeholders, raised concerns that CPW may have violated state law by importing wolves from Canada.

CBS Investigator Shaun Boyd first reported the concerns last month. They argued the permit only allowed wolves from six U.S. states and that it was issued before the current administration took office.

The concerns center on a permit Colorado needs to bring gray wolves into the state. Because wolves are listed as an endangered species in Colorado CPW must obtain a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to relocate wolves from other states. Th
