Laramie, WY – The first grey wolves were re-introduced to
Yellowstone National Park almost ten years ago. The
controversial event means different things to different people.
To some, the return of the grey wolf does nothing but pose a
direct threat to livestock operations and big game herds. For
others, it's a remarkable conservation success story. Nez Perce
Tribal member Levi Holt says wolf restoration is an historical
event for the Nez Perce because of what the animals means to his
people. From the original 66 wolves reintroduced ten years ago,
the Northern Rockies population is now over 700.
