"Colorado lawmakers last week overwhelmingly approved a bill to restore North
American wolverines to the state’s high country.
Supporters say the wolverine is one of the last species still “missing” from
Colorado after it was exterminated from the Rocky Mountains by humans in the
early 1900s.
Conservation groups are celebrating the approval of the wolverine restoration
bill. They see Colorado as a key piece of a strategy to ensure the survival of
the extremely solitary member of the weasel family.
Between 300 and 400 wolverines are currently estimated to live in the lower 48
states. The animal was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in
November, sparking this year's effort at the state Capitol to begin
restoration.
Wildlife officials say Colorado could eventually host as many as 180
wolverines.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) officials are now busy dusting off and
updating restoration plans they’ve had for the animal since 2010."
