The findings suggest that restoring a top predator can have far-reaching effects on an entire ecosystem. The return of wolves is believed to have altered the behavior of grazing animals, allowing vegetation like aspens to regenerate. This adds to a growing body of evidence supporting the ecological value of predator reintroduction programs.
