60 Voices for Wolves - Proposition 114

60 Voices for Wolves - Proposition 114

Author: Dave Gardner September 11, 2020 Duration: 47:53

The 2020 election in Colorado is shaping up to be historic, but not for the reasons you might think. Voters in Colorado will get the chance to direct wildlife managers to reintroduce gray wolves, nearly 80 years after they were eradicated on behalf of the livestock industry. 

In this interview, Delia Malone, Mike Phillips, and Rob Edward, three friends and longtime wolf advocates, discuss the importance of wolves to Colorado's future.
