Decade of the Wolf

Returning the Wild to Yellowstone

By: Douglas Smith, Gary Ferguson

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

In Decade of the Wolf, project leader Douglas W. Smith and acclaimed nature writer Gary Ferguson describe the journey of 31 Canadian gray wolves that were released in 1995 and 1996 into Yellowstone National Park and the people who faithfully followed them. The wolves have not only survived but completely changed the ecosystem, spilling a fresh measure of wildness across the world's first national park.

This updated edition includes additional wolf profiles, new information on the effects of climate change and disease, and a retrospective on what the scientists have learned during this extended study of the Yellowstone wolves.

💚💖Yellowstone wolves💖💚

I really love learning about the yellowstone wolves. this book was perfect for that. my favorite parts were the portraits of singular wolves.

The heart is heavy and filled with respect

This view into the world of the Wolf was a feast of information I have longed for with no idea just how hard their life is to this day. The heartbreaking realization is the destructive mark of man on all living creatures. We justify our actions in the name of money and progress as we continue to slip into darkness. This book added to my respect for the magnificent creature that is the wolf.

First Rate!

This is an absolute must read for anyone with even a passing interest in re-populating Yellowstone N. P with wolves. Mr Douglas Smith was the project leader on the world project, and he along with his co-writer did a bang up job with telling the story. It really makes me want to visit Yellowstone in the winter to see the wolves, which would be an over the top incredible experience.

Informational
