Comment

I am writing to support the continued and improved collection of data regarding experimental populations,
specifically the gray wolf in Colorado. As a data scientist who works with complex data systems, I believe the
practical utility of this information is paramount for successful, science-based conservation.
To improve the quality and clarity of the information collected, I suggest that the USFWS prioritize the collection of
data regarding non-lethal deterrents used prior to any "depredation-related take" incidents. Detailed reporting on the
efficacy of fladry, range riders, and other non-lethal methods would provide a more robust dataset for evaluating
how wolves and livestock can coexist.
Furthermore, to minimize the burden on the public and improve data accuracy, I recommend the implementation of
a streamlined, mobile-friendly digital reporting system for "General Take" (such as highway mortalities) and
sightings. This would ensure that biological data is captured in near real-time, providing the agency with the highfidelity data necessary to monitor the health and expansion of the population accurately.
