Hello, I’m an undergraduate at the University of Idaho researching whether or not the extinction of wolves would drastically affect our local ecosystem.
My father is from Minnesota and grew up with Wolves and respects them greatly. He went to the University of Idaho to be a scientist and grew an even greater respect for them as he studied more of the natural sciences. So I grew up with curiosity about wolves and that same respect as my father taught me more and more about them. Living in Idaho I’ve had to work with people who wish wolves to be exterminated, so I thought I would research whether that would affect us adversely.
With this I hope to get more than one side of the wolf debate and create a descent understanding of what could potentially happen if wolves were to go extinct.
Would the loss of wolves drastically affect Idaho's ecosystem?
