Yellowstone park had no wolves for a long time and the large elk population kept all young alder and aspin trees grazed to extinction. There were no young (alder & aspin) trees in the park. Wolves were introduced in the 70's and now there are large groves of young trees - this is due to a dramatic decrease in the elk population - due to predations by wolves.

How might turning wilderness into fenced cattle pastures affect wolves?

Wolves hunting territory is open wilderness populated by migrating game. When the wilderness is broken up into fenced fields the fences keep animals form migrating across it, displace the natural animals with farm animals and stop the wolves hunting their natural prey. They will therefore turn to eating the farmers animals and the farmer will shoot them to stop this predation. Wilderness should be preserved and mankind should be kept form encroaching onto more of it. There are too many people and too few wild animals/areas.
