Could Colorado see widespread ecosystem changes from wolf restoration?
From PostIndependent.com:
In Yellowstone National Park — where gray wolves were reintroduced starting in 1995 — researchers have gone back and forth on whether the restoration of wolves has impacted the ecosystem.
The idea is referred to as a “trophic cascade,” where a change in an ecosystem’s food chain — typically the removal or reintroduction of an apex predator like wolves — has a ripple effect on the other levels in the food chain and ecosystem. This can include changes to other species, plant life, the environment and more.
