In areas where there are elk, they force the elk to move around and to be on guard. This is good for vegetation, because without the fear of being eaten, elk will ravish one area before moving on. If they destroy much of the vegetation in an area (specifically the deciduous trees), they eliminate shade needed by fish in streams, make food source harder to find for beavers, which, without their dams, disrupts other stream life. Fewer or no wolves means more deer. More deer means more problems with deer within human settlements. Fewer wolves mean more human run-ins with mountain lions, since they will have little reason not to come down from the high country.
In hunting they tend to kill the weaker and sick members of the herds they hunt; leaving the stronger ones alive giving them a better chance to live and breed

Well they are animals and may be scary only because they feel intimidated by humans only because humans have effected their ecosystem the most even by picking up a piece of rubber on the ground is helping the wolves and other animals . Wolves are important because they may kill things with meet in their body but you can't blame them it's their instinct they also give us crops when they walk through fields they spread their seeds . So don't just hurt but they provide.

Love

What's so important about wolves? Well the importance of wolves is that they are the stronger long line of dogs. So if people could trust the other line of the dog family then it would help the police force.

The help balace other animal populations. Without wolves other populations would increase and soon overpopulate, and lead to their deaths. Wolves help take out weaker or sick animals in a herd of deer or whatever they're hunting to help balance the world of the animals, as with every single animal in this world.

Wolves are top tier predators and keep the herds of ungulates under control. In Yellowstone Park there was certain vegetative matter under extreme3 pressure from overgrazing. When wolves were introduced to the park the ecological balance was restored.

Wolves are essential to keep other species under control, eg. coyotes and elk. And in turn, there are more of a particular type of tree that elk eat whose name has escaped me.
