How wolves in Yellowstone park changed rivers for the better

February 19, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Wolves have been reintroduced to Yellowstone park in America. It was a controversial move. Not everyone wanted them. As it turns out the return of the wolves triggered some trophic cascades. Trophic cascade is a process that starts at the top of the food chain and reaches down the way.

Wolves hunted the deer. That simple fact started an important and beneficial chain reaction.

Are you surprised at how significant the changes to the animal and plant life have been in response to the return of the wolves.

Does the Yellowstone National park success suggest we should look to return wolves elsewhere? Such as back to Scotland?
