Story summary

CPW is negotiating with Alaska to capture wolves for Colorado’s reintroduction, amid tensions with British Columbia.
Alaska has 7,000–11,000 wolves, especially in the Tok area, with minimal livestock interaction.
CPW previously captured 15 wolves from British Columbia in January 2025, but tariff issues limit more. Alaska is a backup with a November–January window and a 10–15 target.
