Many people tend to be afraid of wolves because of how big they are and their strength. However, we don’t see how

In 1995 the gray wolf (Canis lupus) was reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park. The park had been without resident wolves for 70 years prior, when they were killed off in the 1930’s. This meant that in those 70 years there was no research on the effects of wolves on the park’s ecosystem. In the decades since the reintroduction, research has been able to proceed and has found some amazing results. Not only did the reintroduction of wolves impact animal life, but it also had an impact on plant life

reintroduction of wolves has had very positive impact in Yellowstone, but we did not go much deeper than just stating so. 2) Question How did reintroducing wolves to yellow stone positively impact diversity in the whole park? 3) Hypothesis -Reintroduction of a top predator lowered the number of over grazing herbivores, leaving a more stable amount of food for many species of herbivores. -Wolves helped to maintain exploding number of deer and elk that were hurting biodiversity in the park. 4) Predication

is acquiring stuff because it gives us status (Leonard). However, like Stegner says, this was of life that promotes the world we create over the wilderness, even at the cost of the wilderness does not make us happy.

The Reintroduction of the Gray Wolf to Yellowstone Gauss’ Law states that no two organisms can occupy the same ecological niche without excluding the other, but what happens when man gets involved with nature and tries to introduce a species where it doesn’t belong which in turn provides a second organism to fill the same niche as the first? The results of human intervention have often been disastrous for the organism that we’re supposedly helping. Humans often times do not understand the

Wolves certainly are one of the most beautiful and high-in-the-food-chain predators. And it was almost 30,000 BCE when mankind first decided to change those creatures’ path: we domesticated then, used them for transportation and, today, we call their latest offspring our best friends. If we treat our puppies like human babies nowadays, some almost a hundred years ago we were barbaric in our way to treat Yellowstone National Park’s wolves: we decimated the park’s wolf population with the goal to protect

the wolf population in the Yellowstone area. (David Stauth) By "1926" the wolf population was destroyed. (David Stauth) During the 1800s and 1900s the West was popular for cattle ranches. Ranchers saw the wolves as pests destroying their profits due to the wolves feeding on the cattle. Thus began the beginning of the collapse of an ecosystem. With wolves missing from the ecosystem everything became greatly unbalanced leading to a domino effect. No longer fearing the wolves, elk began to freely graze
