The story of wolves in Yellowstone gets a very prominent mention in the article and seems to be cited as an inspiration for the movement to reintroduce wolves to Scotland. They don't directly state this, but right after talking about the huge changes observed in Yellowstone there's a section on how Scotland has issues with management of the deer population and suggests that wolves could help.
- tzs 6y agoHuh...you’re right. I skimmed some of the article the first time and missed that it included Yellowstone. It’s still worth looking at the Wikipedia article, though, because the Yellowstone section of the Guardian article doesn’t go as far into how wide ranging the changes were in Yellowstone, such as stabilizing the water table and reducing erosion.
- smcl 6y agoYeah I also think I remember more dramatic changes in Yellowstone like some river changing course too
