As recently as 150 years ago, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) was distributed throughout the contiguous United States (US), except for the southeastern US from central Texas to the Atlantic coast where the red wolf (Canis rufus) occurred. Conflict with agricultural interests resulted in government-supported wolf eradication campaigns beginning in colonial Massachusetts in 1630. Over the next 320 years, the campaigns were extended throughout the US resulting in the near extermination of both species. In recent decades, efforts to recover the red and graywolf have been carried out. Join ACES and Mike Phillips, Executive Director of the Turner Endangered Species Fund, for a free lecture to consider recovery efforts as well as to explore the future for both red and grey wolves, with a focus on western Colorado.
