Over the past several decades, gray wolves have been reintroduced to places throughout the Mountain West in Montana, Idaho, and Yellowstone National Park. But those programs have been decided on and carried out primarily by government wildlife agencies. Wildlife advocates in Colorado want to do it differently. They want to bring the question to the ballot box. A group called the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund is working to get an initiative on the state ballot for 2020.

Delia Malone is a Sierra Club ecologist working on the campaign. She said the ballot question is very simple: “Do Coloradans want wolves restored to Colorado?” More specifically the initiative says it would require the parks and wildlife commission, “after holding statewide hearings and using scientific data, to implement a plan to restore and manage gray wolves.” Their goal would be to reintroduce them to federal public lands in the mountains west of the Continental Divide by the year 2023.
