Introducing wolves to an island could disrupt the existing ecological balance, leading to unintended consequences for native species. As apex predators, wolves may overhunt certain herbivores, causing a decline in their populations, which can, in turn, affect vegetation growth and soil health. This shift could lead to erosion and loss of biodiversity, as well as negative impacts on other wildlife that depend on the herbivores for their survival. Additionally, the introduction of a new predator could create competition for resources, further destabilizing the ecosystem.

What was the rationale behind introducing wolves to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE)?

Wolves were reintroduced to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in 1995 to restore ecological balance and address issues stemming from the decline of the wolf population in the early 20th century. The absence of wolves had led to overpopulation of elk, which in turn caused overgrazing and degradation of vegetation, impacting the entire ecosystem. By reintroducing wolves, wildlife managers aimed to control elk populations, promote biodiversity, and restore natural processes within the ecosystem. This action has since led to positive ecological changes, such as improved vegetation growth and increased populations of other species.

Are wolves common in Alaska?

Compared to some other places, they are quite common, both gray wolves and arctic/tundra wolves. And yes, I've seen an entire pack and several lone/ paired wolves since I've moved to Alaska little over 6 years ago. However, many people live their entire lives here and never see a wolf outside the zoo or wolf farm.
