martinezlaura+FollowWolf reintroduction faces setback in Rio BlancoThe first wolf death of 2026 in Colorado is making waves—especially since it’s one of the female gray wolves brought in from Canada as part of the state’s high-profile reintroduction program. Found in Rio Blanco County, her loss isn’t just a number; it’s a blow to hopes for a thriving wolf population on the Western Slope.
