In this episode of Through the Gates, we sit down with Veronica Yovovich, Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist with CSU Extension, to tackle one of the most pressing issues in Colorado today: the impacts of wolf reintroduction by ballot box biology.
From working directly with livestock producers to navigating the fallout of Proposition 114, Veronica shares insight into the challenges ranchers face, the uncertainty surrounding wolf management, and how science-based solutions can help bridge divides between rural communities, policymakers, and the public.
We discuss:
The realities of human-wildlife conflict across the West
Colorado’s unique, voter-driven wolf reintroduction process
How ranchers are adapting and showing resilience
Tools, programs, and resources available to prepare for wolf conflicts
The importance of communication between agencies, experts, and communities
This is a must-listen for anyone concerned about wildlife management, rural Colorado, and the political consequences of ballot-box biology.
