Wolves created Yellowstone.
From a time beyond memory, their role as keystone predators shaped North America's greatest biological treasure. Known as The American Serengeti, it was truly pristine, the largest intact ecosystem in the western hemisphere. Wolves were the thread that held Yellowstone's tapestry together.

Enter man.
The Mountain Shoshoni revered them. Ranchers and hunters reviled them. Park rangers were ordered to shoot them. By 1926 wolves had been systematically eradicated from the park.
For the next seventy years, wolves were absent from the ecosystem.
Yellowstone's tapestry unraveled.
Despite years of bitter fighting, wolves were restored to their rightful place in 1995. Their return to Yellowstone prompted an amazing transformation, as the park and its wildlife blossomed anew.
And yet, the battle over reintroduction continues today and beyond.
Each stakeholder in the conflict, human and animal, has a story to tell in this true history told by fictional characters.
