Trouble in Nature's Labratory

[Tom]

The Minneapolis StarTribune (www.startribune.com) has a front page article in today's Sunday edition regarding the Moose/Wolf study and the concerns with the population. I haven't found the article yet online (that paper has been trying to keep a few things "in the paper" for a couple days to boost readership) but hopefully it will be up in the coming days.
There is also a video they put together that is available, http://www.startribune.com/video/642863 ... 3LGDiO7aiU

Check it out if you can.

Thanks for sharing the article. I have been to Isle Royale 19 times. I have seen wolves six times and heard them on a number of other occasions. I believe the island would be a fundamentally different place without them and the loss of wolves would fundamentally affect my experiences om the island. The thought of a loss of wolves, and potentially moose, on Isle Royale is a very emotional one for me. I would have to say it would be difficult to return to a place where its fundamental predator-prey relationships were altered to that extent and where my image of the place was so dramatically changed.
