About this listen

Wolves were effectively irradicated from Yellowstone National Park in the early 20th century and were gone until reintroduced through human intervention in 1995. While many could have predicted what the return of wolves might do to th elk population of the park, the truly remarkable thing is the overall effect on the park all the way down to amount of water runoff. Take a listen this week and find out about the butterfly effect of wolves.
