The text from the Facebook post:
Link for the Facebook postIsle Royale National Park made available today the Draft Environmental Impact Statement to Address the Presence of Wolves (draft EIS) which evaluates whether and how to bring wolves to Isle Royale to function as the apex predator in the near term within a changing and dynamic island ecosystem. A decision is needed because the potential absence of wolves raises concerns about possible effects to Isle Royale’s current ecosystem, including effects to both the moose population and Isle Royale’s forest/vegetation communities.
The draft EIS is open for public review and comment for 90 days, concluding March 15, 2017. The draft EIS is available on the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/isrowolves.
The draft EIS evaluates four alternatives: a no action alternative and three action alternatives. Alternative B is the National Park Service (NPS) preferred alternative. It calls for the immediate introduction of 20 to 30 wolves to the park over a three year period. The goal of the preferred alternative is the immediate introduction of enough wolves to the park to sustain a population.
Isle Royale National Park will host public meetings and webinars to discuss the draft EIS in February. Meetings will be held in the Houghton area as well as other sites to be determined in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and/or Michigan. Dates, times and locations of these meetings will be announced in future news releases, here on Facebook, on the park’s website, http://www.nps.gov/isro , and at the planning site listed above.
