- The History of wolves in Yellowstone included extirpation, absence and reintroduction of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) to Yellowstone National Park. The reintroduction of wolves was controversial as it is with the worldwide reintroduction of wolves. When Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872, wolf populations were already in decline in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. The creation of the national park did not provide protection for wolves or other predators, and government predator control programs in the first decades of the 1900s essentially helped eliminate the gray wolf from Yellowstone. The last wolves were killed in Yellowstone in 1926. After that, sporadic reports of wolves still occurred, but scientists confirmed that sustainable wolf populations had been extirpated and were absent from Yellowstone during the mid-1900s. Starting in the 1940s, park managers, biologists, conservationists, and environmentalists began, what would ultimately turn into, a campaign to reintroduce the gray wolf into Yellowstone National Park. When the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was passed, the road to legal reintroduction was clear. In 1995, gray wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone in the Lamar Valley. (en)
- De geschiedenis van de wolf in Yellowstone is sterk verweven met de heersende ideeën over natuurbeheer in de Verenigde Staten. Bij de oprichting van het Yellowstone National Park liep de populatie van de wolf reeds terug in de staten Montana, Idaho en Wyoming. De aanwijzing van het gebied als nationaal park zorgde niet voor bescherming voor de wolf of andere roofdieren, daardoor liep het aantal begin jaren 1900 sterk terug. De laatste wolven in het park werden gedood in 1926. Na deze tijd waren er nog sporadisch waarnemingen, maar duurzame populaties kwamen niet meer voor. Vanaf de jaren 1940 wilde men de wolf herintroduceren, maar pas na het aannemen van de Endangered Species Act van 1973 kwam de weg naar legale herintroductie vrij. Het duurde nog tot 1995 vooraleer de eerste wolven uitgezet werden in de Lamar Valley. (nl)
