Isle Royale Research Paper

For one, by 1980, wolves doubled to 50. By then it was apparent, ‘balance of nature’ seems to be the force that guides nature. This shows that wolves should be introduced because they are needed for balance

For a number of years the wolves were not missed by most people, the ranchers and farmers were happy to have the pests gone. Coyotes,

The red wolf is listed as endangered under the U. S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) (United States Public Law No. 93-205; United States Code Title 16 Section 1531 et seq.). Wild red wolves inhabiting the north eastern North Carolina (NENC), USA recovery area and a single island propagation site (St. Vincent NWR, Florida) are designated as experimental non-essential populations under Section 10(j) of the ESA. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists the red wolf’s status as critically endangered.

For centuries, wolves have been regarded as the enemy. Whether from fairy tales like the three little pigs, to little red riding hood, people constantly loathe them. Why is this? You see, it is human nature to look for a common enemy. Unfortunately, wolves are seen as that enemy. Nevertheless, despite the negative images in the media and mass wolf culls, they keep on persisting. By killing wolves, we are damaging our environment and disrupting the natural cohesion that has been established between wolves and lower members of the food chain. Wolves are believed to be responsible for the majority of cattle losses, but this simply is not based on scientific evidence. One species of wolf, the Red wolf, is actually so endangered that less than

With the reintroduction of the Grey Wolf into the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem there have been many people who are opposed. Mainly the ranchers in Montana

Throughout the past decades it has become evident that Isle Royale does not receive many visitors when compared to other National Parks. Due to this human interaction with the national park has been kept to a minimum over the years A sub-claim that can be formed by this information is that Isle Royale has maintained such quality wildlife because of its lack of human interactment. One subclaim I have formed based on my research is that humans only have a negative impact on Isle Royale. Rolf Peterson: Leader of the Wolf Moose Project on Isle Royale claims “In the island’s wilderness, which is as pristine as any in the continental United States, wolves have inadvertently recorded [in their teeth] the two

During the 1940’s, wolves were exterminated from Colorado and few have come back since. As a result the ecosystem that we have in Colorado is somewhat skewed due to the absence of them. Many people think that wolves are a nuisance and would get in the way of the agricultural style that colorado has. However, wolves are considered a keystone species which means their “presence would reinvigorate the natural order” (clifford). For this reason wolves should be reintroduced into montezuma county. The reintroduction would greatly benefit and restore the balance of our ecosystem.

One of the only animals you can find North Carolina is the red wolf. According to Christopher Ketcham, only 47 red wolves are left in North Carolina wild (Ketcham, 2016). Protecting this species is going to take a lot of effort because it’s already at the edge of extinction. Some people might not want to due to the fact of money must be involved. The safety of the animal and its habitat is going to take tremendous money to keep up with the cost of providing what is needed. Although the cost is outstanding and unimaginable, the end result will be worth more than what was put into saving the species. Losing one species may change the food chain which can cause a disruption in the resources farmers and companies need to make the needs we, humans, want. These reasons won’t convince people to fund the protection of biodiversity loss, but organization has been made to protect and enforce laws to help protect species. One of these organization is called, The United Nations Environment Programm (UNEP). This organization tells the responsibilities of humans, management of forests and other preventions of biodiversity loss (Briefing PapersWorldConferences, n.d.). Another simple and most common reason to save the species and every other species is, simply put, “the fact we have a place that’s globally significant for biodiversity right here in North

On May 3, 1995 female wolf number nine gave birth to eight puppies, the first wolves to be born in the park in nearly 70 years. The mother and pups were recaptured and taken back to the acclimation pen, until the pups were weaned (Sanders par. 15). The reason for this recapture was because at this time, this wolf and her eight pups counted for almost 50% of the park’s wolf population. Since this time there have been no other human interventions preferring to let nature take its course on the population.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service are considering removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list once Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have enough wolves to be deemed sufficient to continue to expand the wolf population, requiring only that each of these three states have a management plan in effect to prevent the gray wolf from becoming endangered again. With the current attitude of the governments in these states, the wolf should not lose their federal support under the Endangered Species Act as it would merely serve to cause the wolves to become endangered once again, or at best, held to the absolute minimum population that the states can pass off as “viable, self-sustaining populations”

The Real Wolf is a basically a collections of essays written about the reintroduction of wolfs to the western states specifically how the using Canadian wolf has created ecological impacts such as the devastations of the Yellow Sone Elk herd. The book is written as a lawyer would lay out a case with opening arguments follow by expert testimony and closing arguments with only deference’s being in a trial you are exposed to both sides of the case. However, as Mr. Lyon states the court of public opinion has been hearing the opposing pro-wolf side of the arguments since the mid-nineties. That reintroduction of the wolf to the west would be ecologically beneficial.

The wolf was once a much slandered animal. In the western world, people feared and hated wolves, and this legacy is reflected in stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In these popular children's tales the wolf is made out to be a prowler and a killer of livestock and people. There is some basis for The Boy Who Cried Wolf, for wolves have killed cattle and sheep. But what of Little Red Riding Hood? There are no records of wolves killing humans in Canada or the United States. Yet, when wolves were spotted near rural communities, fear used to grip the populace, but over time this has become less prevalent.

First of all, Tyler in the movie studied the relationships between the wolves and caribou just like the ecologists our textbook talked about studying relationships. Second, Tyler used the biotic and abiotic factors to study the wolves’ behavior. The temperature and food conditions could affect the decline in caribou. Also, the keystone species was the caribou so, if you remove all caribou that land wouldn’t be sustainable. Another key way the movie relates is the topic of food webs.

I think that wolves being reintroduced is not a bad thing. It’s their natural habitat they should have the right to live freely just as we do in a sense. Wolves are natural to the environment. Why should something natural be taken from its home just to allow something to live in its place that is unnatural to the area? I do not think this is fair. Yes, the wolves may eat everything in site but its life, get over it. If you are worried about the Wolves eating your farm animals, the wolves should not have to move, you should have to. I understand that over population could become a concern, but in Iowa we have hunting season for deer for that reasoning. I do not care for hunting to keep the population of animals down. So with that thought crossing

If wolfs die out the food chain will go toppling down and if one animal goes it affects the other animals.Wolfs basicly protect
