UNCOVER

To make an informed decision about whether wolves should be reintroduced into their native ecosystems in Colorado, let’s start by UNCOVERing the scientific facts related to some common (mis)perceptions of wolves. This understanding will help us view the issue from different perspectives, and help us make an informed and empathetic decision about how we personally feel about bringing wolves back to Colorado.

Questions we’ll Investigate:

• What is the difference between perception, scientific fact, and perspective?
• Why is wolf reintroduction being considered now?
• How do scientific facts about wolf ranges compare to people’s perceptions about wolf ranges?
• How do scientific facts about wolf behavior compare to people’s perceptions about wolf behavior? 
• How does culture influence perceptions of wolves throughout US history?
