The Importance Of The Reintroduction Of Wolves To Scotland

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

First of all, we should pass the Red Wolf Protection Act to repopulate them. The Red Wolves, are currently with 50 Red Wolves out in the wild roaming the lands. We need to repopulate

Wolves have always been a symbol of the wild, free in spirit and roamers of the land. These animals are considered majestic and protectors of the wilderness. They have always roamed the western United States, although their population has fluctuated over time. Over the past 10 years wolf reintroduction into Yellowstone National Park has been a controversial topic to those of the United States. As of 1995, wolves have been reintroduced into the park. This has come with some strong opposition and yet has prevailed. The future of the wolf in Yellowstone park is now looking bright, although not certain since there still are those who want them banished again.

The biggest impact the reintroduction of wolves would make is that they control the population of large mammals such as elk. Without wolves in an ecosystem coyotes step into the role of the biggest predator. However coyotes are almost 2.5 times smaller than an average wolf so they are not big enough to kill much of the elk. The elk population then increases rapidly and hurts the ecosystem. Wolves also help reduce the spreading of disease by hunting on the elk that have been injured or have diseases. It gives the wolves a better chance of taking down the large animal and prevents

While highly controversial, the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone Park has provided many beneficial ecological changes to the entire parks ecosystem. After a nearly 70 year absence, in January of 1995, 14 wolves from separate packs were captured in the Canadian Rockies and transported to Yellowstone National Park in the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho (Sanders par. 2).

In “Scared to Death” by Ed Yong and Sharon Levy’s “Wolf Family Values,” we read about the need to protect the population of wolves in North America. These two articles have very different ways to go about this. Ed Yong talks about the wolf effects on elk as well as the rest of the environment. Levy’s approach is about wolf social structure and how it is impacted by hunting. Both of these make some valid points on why more conservation efforts should be made; however, I believe Ed Yong made the stronger case.

I think the wolf reintroduction to yellowstone was a big sixes and i am all for the reaintrowduckshon into yellowstone nashenol parck.

The red wolves are an endangered species. Right now they are only 45-60 left the wild. If people don't do something soon they might become completely extinct.

The declining wolf population has turned around and is now increasing at a steady pace. The National Park Service says “During the 1980s, wolves began to reestablish breeding packs in Northwestern Montana; 50-60 wolves inhabited Montana in 1994.”(NPS) We are very fortunate for the quick acts of transferring the wolves from Canada down to the Yellowstone National Park and to the intense research that has been done

One of the most legendary creatures of the northern hemisphere is the wolf. One of the most popular places to spot a wolf safely is Yellowstone national park. But, the wolf is one of the most feared creature as well therefore the wolf was starting to be killed and removed in the early 1800s from Yellowstone. By 1926 they were all gone from Yellowstone national park. then some wolf lovers decided to take a stand and make sure that wolves would be put back into the park because its apart of the culture of the wolves. Many rancher think this was a horrible idea because of their livestock. But it is a good idea because Yellowstone national park could potentially be saved because fo these beautiful creatures. It could also help the economy around the area. it would also help because it would give scientists an opportunity to study what happens when a preditor returns to the area.

The chain of events is continuous once a high order predator is eliminated. Reintroducing wolves into California may help restore the balance and diversity of plants and animals in our ecosystem. However, the return of wolves would not be without problems. California is very different now from the environment it once was when wolves lived here. They would have to contend with the growing human population, development, and livestock industries. Politics and public opinion might also be against them.

It's a cold December night on the ranch, and you are slowly drifting off to sleep, when a sudden howl brings a shiver up your spine. You look out your window and see a Gray Wolf, the snow caresing its soft, eligant face, beautiful. When morning comes you go out to your livestock pen, one dead, that could cost you up to $20,000, that beautiful creature no longer seems so beautiful. In 1995, on accord of the Endangered Species Act, the Gray Wolf was introduced to Yellowstone National Park, Since then the ecosystem has flourished and more animals have come, rivers are not caving, trees are blooming and more plants are growing and tourism has exploded. So was wolf reintroduction really a good thing.

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.

Wolves in the Upper Peninsula have been a hot topic for many of years, especially the hunting and trapping of them. I think people pro wolf are afraid that making it legal to hunt them would eventually make them an extinct animal. This shows us a type of supply and demand, where the supply is the wolves in their natural environment and the demand is where the people live and want to live in harmony with the wolves.

Their population has changed throughout the years. At one time, they disappeared from 48 states but then returned mainly to Alaska, the Great Lakes, Northern Rockies, and the Pacific Northwest. As of 2016 their population in the Western Great Lakes totaled 3,765. In the Northern Rocky Mountains, it totaled 1,782. In Alaska, they totaled 7,700 to 11,200 wolves. Since the gray wolf was removed from the endangered species list in several states three years ago, Predator Defense estimates about 2,800 wolves have been killed in 6 states. And there are only about 5,000 grey wolves left in the lower 48 states! Wolf hunting is allowed in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Critics say wolf hunting is vicious and violent, and
