Bringing Back the Wolves: How a Predator Restored an Ecosystem

Jude Isabella

This nonfiction account traces ecological changes in Yellowstone National Park after gray wolves were eliminated there. Government action against threats to nearby livestock left the park without gray wolves by 1926, setting off changes across its ecosystem and leaving the landscape in distress. In 1995, scientists reintroduced the predators. Over time, animal populations began to stabilize, waterways were restored, and balance returned to the park, showing how closely its living systems are connected.
