Endagered Species In Colorado

Here in Colorado we pride ourselves on our state's natural beauty and wonder. Visitors from around the world come to gaze in amazement at our monstrous mountains, rushing rivers, and our seemingly abundant wildlife. We do our best to control our impact on the environment and provide a nurturing habitat that will help reduce the number of endangered species that inhabit these lands. According to a statistic released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Colorado is currently home to 31 endangered species. That number is far less than states like California and Alabama. There is hope that with time we can expect to see these numbers decline even farther for our state. A report in 2006 from the Colorado Division of Wildlife had video of a wild black wolf in Northern Colorado. These are good indicators that we can expect these numbers to decrease.
