Canada Lynx were reintroduced into the same habitat wolverines will be released starting in 1999, with CPW releasing 218 of them into the San Juan Mountains. But finalizing the 106-page plan is a big step toward bringing more “charismatic critters” to Colorado, says Luke Perkins, agency spokesperson. Designation will come only after the federal government reviews the reintroduction plan under the National Environmental Policy Act. CPW said it’s unclear if or how that situation would impact wolverine reintroduction, because it could still be years off. But the plan says Colorado is still a good place to restore wolverines.
