The Wolf Reintroduction Project in Yellowstone

The podcast episode discusses the Wolf Reintroduction Project in Yellowstone, where wolves were brought back to replenish the ecosystem. In the early 1900s, wolves were extensively killed, leading to imbalances in the ecosystem. The decision to reintroduce wolves faced strong opposition from ranchers. After heated debates, the conservationists won, and wolves were brought from Canada to Yellowstone in 1995.
