Eric Odell has been working for Colorado Parks and Wildlife for over 25 years. In that time he has worked in nearly all ecosystems throughout the state, from the eastern shortgrass prairie to the western mountain landscapes. His focus has been on work prioritizing the conservation of rare or imperiled species. This has included black-footed ferrets, river otters, Canada lynx, wolverine, and most recently gray wolves.

He is the Wolf Conservation Program Manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. In this role, he led the development of Colorado's Wolf Restoration and Management Plan. After the Park and Wildlife Commission's unanimous approval of the Plan in May of 2023, Eric led the field implementation of the restoration of wolves to western Colorado. He is the biological and technical lead on wolves for the agency. 

Carl Safina’s bestselling lyrical non-fiction writing about the living world has won a MacArthur “genius” prize; received Pew, Guggenheim, and National Science Foundation fellowships; earned book awards from the National Academies, the Lannan Foundation, and Orion Magazine; and been recognized with John Burroughs, James Beard, and George Rabb medals.
