This highly controversial project brings to light some concerns about reintroduction efforts and humans' role in trying to control nature.

Colorado represents the southernmost portion of the lynx's historical range. This reasoning simply buys into a system that supports animal exploitation.

Thus, in addition to the death of translocated lynx, others will die to replace them.
