How Wolves Saved Yellowstone and Changed Rivers

How Wolves Saved Yellowstone and Changed Rivers
In 1995, 14 wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. From there, those 14 wolves basically saved the entire park's collapsing ecosystem. This is the story behind the conservation of Yellowstone's wolves.
On March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the National Park Protection Act into law, creating the first national park: Yellowstone. The goal of creating the national park was to preserve the natural landscape and wildlife for generations to come.
The creation of Yellowstone protected most of the native species, but it didn’t provide protection for most of the predators, like the native wolves. As a result, by 1926 all the Northern Rocky Mountain wolf packs had been hunted to extinction. The removal of the wolves had wide-reaching effects on the park's ecosystem, as the wolves' prey increased in population, and their prey shrinking. After decades, wolf conservation efforts began and wolves were reintroduced, and like the avatar, finally brought peace. The story of wolf conservation and the wolf ecosystem in Yellowstone is an interesting example of the importance of keystone species play in their habitats. On top of that, golden eagles had to be saved on the channel islands to help save the channel island fox from the brink of extinction.

All creatures affect their environment as they experience their lives. Many do this intentionally (niche construction). we are masters of it and why shouldn't we be. However, we are also capable of limiting ourselves with respect to other things (well most people!) and we must respect that and try to understand just how complicated the web of life is!

lol at the opening joke

Darned human interference, so thankful that this is slowly being put right, the biggest danger this planet faces is human activity.

The 1800s as a whole were a tough time

Mother nature is wise

[@iceflamewolf2855]

Of course it's worth it! If Endangered Species dramatically affect habitats then it is very much worth it!

[@UncleSamdalf]

I wonder how it took 35 million to bring 41 wolves, who pocketed most of it?

[@lowellalia9876]

Why did you add a wild dog of Africa in this video? Do you know the difference?

[@loganhuse798]

This entire video is the definition of plagiarism

1:42 "41 Grey wolves were drugged" That's a African painted dog. Try again.
