In 2005, the population of wolves in Yellowstone National Park experienced a notable decline, primarily due to a combination of factors including disease, competition, and changes in prey availability. The population dropped from around 150 wolves in 2004 to approximately 100 by the end of 2005. This decline highlighted the challenges faced by the reintroduced wolves since their return to the park in the mid-1990s and raised concerns about their long-term viability. Conservation efforts continued to monitor and support the wolf population in subsequent years.
In 2005, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced its decision to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list in the northern Rocky Mountains, which included Yellowstone National Park. This decision followed the successful recovery of wolf populations due to reintroduction efforts in the mid-1990s. However, the delisting also led to increased hunting and management actions, raising concerns about the long-term sustainability of the wolf population in the region. The management approach sparked debates over wildlife conservation and the balance between ecosystem health and human interests.
