wolf reintroduction
Returning apex carnivores
Wolf reintroduction is the deliberate restoration of wolves to regions where they were previously eliminated.
Conservation programs release captive-bred or relocated wolves into former habitat, aiming to restore ecological balance.
The most famous example is Yellowstone National Park, where wolves returned in 1995 after a seventy-year absence: Wolf reintroduction transformed the park's ecosystem.
