The expert view

Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995, and became one of the world’s most heavily studied wolf populations. Their high visibility along with the dedicated monitoring efforts of park staff has allowed unparalleled insight into the life history, behaviour, and ecology of wolves. Knowledge gained from Yellowstone has assisted wolf conservation, management, and conflictresolution efforts across the northern hemisphere.
