| Once A Wolf By: Stephen R.Swinburne and Jim Brandenberg (illistrator) |
| How wildlife bioglists brought back the Grey Wolf (scientists in the feild) In the scientists in the feild series, a title that championed the much maligned wolf and the science used to dispute clames of ranchers and farmers that wolves threaten cattle and sheep.Wolves villionized in folklore and literature, were nearly eracated from North America by early settelers who feared their cattle would be eaten and their childern menaced.Farmers shot them,ranchers poisoned them,and bounty hunters killed mothers and pups by the thousands.Swinburne chronicals how in the 1930's conservationists and ecoligists began to study the food chain,and began to see the grey wolves necessary and important part of the balance of nature.So ingraved is the hatred of wolves that even with the efforts of dedicated scientists, it has taken decades to return the grey wolf to small areas of Yellowstone natural Park and to begin efforts to return them to New York State. |
