The CPW Commission’s act of courage | GUEST COLUMN

The Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission recently made a bold decision to limit the number of furbearers hunters can kill, a move that marks a significant shift in wildlife management policies. This decision reflects a growing recognition of the ecological balance and the need to protect species like beavers, foxes, and pine martens from over-exploitation. Winston Churchill's famous quote about courage being the first human quality underscores the commission's bravery in confronting powerful hunting lobbies. This change could set a precedent for more sustainable hunting practices and help preserve biodiversity in Colorado.
