Returning the Wolves to the Wild: The Restoration of a Great Predator

As you travel in remote areas, you have more wildlife than you have. Suddenly the silence of the evening was interrupted by the howling of the wolf, and everyone was warned of its existence. The bark was answered immediately by another bark. You can feel the hair standing behind your neck because you understand that you are lurking in a nearby top carnivore, you are not alone in the wilderness.

A century ago the wolf in Yellowstone National Park was still being killed - by the 1940's, they almost disappeared. Predators are often welcomed as an ecological balance savior who regains one of the widest landscapes in the USA, 18 years after returning home. However, new research suggests that Yellowstone wolves may not be able to fully recover ecological watches - at least without an attractive animal: help of Beaver. Christine Marshall, research author and ecologist, says: "There is a simple story that when you remove the wolf there is a simple story that tells you that all changes will be restored." D. Fort Collins Colorado State College student However, "Ecology is very complex. According to our survey, ecology is my I know that it is far more complicated than they think. "

Despite immeasurable miracles, incredible optimism, and self - sacrifice, we are also master of death and destruction and even the wildest and most intense predator. Lions, tigers and wolves do not know anything about us. There is only one cause of evil in the world, and that is us.

As a top carnivore, wolves are one of the keys to Yellowstone Park. And it has a delicate balance of predators and prey. The fact that they were taken away in the early twentieth century destroyed the food web and caused the so-called 'nutritional cascade' which is increasingly consumed as wolf's natural food (in this case, moose) increases, more Leaves. This phenomenon was reversed when wolves were reintroduced and natural balance recovered. When the wolves were returned to the park, they not only killed the elk but also changed the behavior pattern of the prey. Herbivores have begun to avoid areas such as valleys and canyons where they are easily hunted by predators. As a result, these areas began to regenerate and seeds such as birds, beavers, rats, bears and so forth came back. Plant life grows again along the river bank, and erosion is greatly reduced. The stability of the river bank actually changed the direction of the river and the river.
