The re-introduction of wolves back to where they rightfully belong, and had existed for 100s of thousand of years, was a "soft" re-introduction. This means that wild wolves were allowed to live within a pen for a few months prior to careful release back into the wild.

The return of wolves has been an unqualified economic success for the residents around Yellowstone, as winter "wolf tours" allow money to flow into the area that would never have gone there prior to the wolf's return to its rightful living area.

No. It was taken off a few years ago because new laws were passed to protect wolves from being hunted in the United States, and many wolves were introduced back into territories that were once empty of wolves, such as Yellowstone National Park.

How does the area effect a wolf pack?

You asked a very interesting question. If the area doesn't have enough wildlife to feed the wolves (they generally go after the older animals such as deer, elk, moose) or will even kill rodents, then the wolves will move the pack to another area. I just saw an interesting program on wolves regarding Yellowstone National Park. A very astute conservationist hired by the park realized that the river was changing at a dramatic pace and also aspen trees and other vegetation were disappearing at an alarming rate. After much studying they realized at one time they blamed the wolves for the low count of deer, elk and moose. What did they do .. they either killed or trapped and relocated wolves out of the park. Without the wolves there to hunt down the game the different species of deer, etc., grew at a rapid rate and it was the very animals they were protecting that unbalanced nature! The deer, elk and moose were basically eating all the aspen and also the willow beds by the rivers, so they had to introduce wolves back into the National Park. There is one problem with this ... there are a few ranchers on the outskirts of Yellowstone and they are complaining that the wolves are eating their stock. So far nothing has changed and the wolves are still free to roam Yellowstone. Sometimes humans just can't leave mother nature alone long enough to do her job!

What would happen if wolves disappeared?

That is a pretty complex answer. The reintroduction of wolves back into Yellowstone National Park resulted in a rather broad change in the ecology of the entire park. Not only did it have an effect on how many deer and rabbits there were, it also changed where the deer and rabbits grazed. This affected the growth of plants which effected the erosion characteristics which had an affect on the rivers and how and where they flowed, as well as changing the available habitats and what other creatures lived there.


Why are there so many deer at Valley Forge park in PA?

== == * Because well meaning humans fooled around with the balance of nature. Just like Yellow Stone National park there was an over abundance of wolves, so instead of relocating packs of wolves they eliminated so many that the deer were too plentiful and were destroying the ash trees which in turn caused marshland. Also these deer would go to the river and where there was once reeds along the riverbed there was nothing. Forestry found old photos of what Yellowstone looked like in past decades and came to the realization that once again humans had to go "oops" and introduced more wolves back into the park.
