Oregon author discusses wolves’ role in wilderness ecosystems
Wolves from Page 1A
raised a family. During a writ-
ing residency in 2011, the
subject of wolves came up.
Later a friend mentioned that
OR-7 had dispersed from the
Imnaha pack and was travel-
ing south. Feeling a kinship,
Elgin was intrigued and began
her research on OR-7.
Misconceptions
about
wolves are many, she said,
“you either love them or hate
them,” but her interaction
with people about wolves has
been positive.
Extermination
Most myths about wolves
began mainly in Europe as
folklore. Books and mov-
ies have profi ted by exhibit-
ing the wolf as a ferocious,
man-eating predator. Though
most myths can be debunked,
there was some basis to these
stories “as wolves in Europe
did at times prey on humans,”
Elgin said. As more people
immigrated to the United
States, this folklore seeped
into its human landscape.
Early settlers were intimi-
dated by North American wil-
derness and tried to conquer
it by destroying its forests,
damming its rivers and killing
its wildlife. By killing hoofed
animals for food, clothing or
sport, settlers were destroying
the ecological landscape, cre-
ating a competitive pattern for
survival between wolves and
humans. Wolves lost.
The U.S. government and
ranchers led efforts to elimi-
nate them throughout the low-
er 48 states. By the 1920s in
Yellowstone National Park,
wolves were exterminated,
leaving the park wolf-free for
seven decades. By the 1930s,
wolves were nearly extirpat-
ed from the Lower 48. Elgin
notes in her book that experts
believe approximately one
million wolves were killed in
the U.S. between the 19th and
20th centuries. The plan, she
said, was to completely erad-
icate them.
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service remote camera photo of OR-7 on
May 3, 2014, in eastern Jackson County on forest service land.
the three different packs had
the entire pack structure fi g-
ured out. The second release
took place from 1996 to 1997
with wolves from the Nez
Perce pack.
The reintroduction of
wolves dramatically changed
the park’s landscape, decreas-
ing the elk population and a
once dying ecosystem began
to fl ourish. Though there is
some disagreement among
studies that reintroducing
wolves back into Yellowstone
may not have been the prima-
ry solution to its dying eco-
system, evidence does show
the positive effect of Yellow-
stone’s ecological health was
attributed to the wolf.
Yellowstone study
To collar or not
SUBMITTED PHOTO
After 70 years, Yellow-
stone came up with a reintro-
duction plan to manage the
rising elk population, which
had been overgrazing much of
the park, affecting its rivers,
forests — and the landscape
itself. This gave scientists a
unique opportunity to study
pack dynamics when a top
predator returned to an eco-
system that was once a native
habitat.
Beginning in 1995, the
fi rst reintroduction of wolves
began and within a 24-hour
period, the wolves taken from
On a trip to Yellowstone,
Elgin was surprised to see
both wolf and elk collared.
“It’s amazing to see wolves in
Yellowstone, but you get tired
of seeing collars,” she said,
noting that nearly all wolves
are collared. “You just want to
see the wolves in a more nat-
ural state without the collars.”
Collaring is still contro-
versial in wildlife manage-
ment, but valuable data can
be recorded from collared
wildlife. “The collaring has
some great components to it.
We would have not known
Journey’s story if he hadn’t
been collared, we wouldn’t
have been able to follow
him,” Elgin said, adding, “he
wouldn’t have had so many
fans, and I think he’s been
an amazing ambassador for
wolves.”
Elgin discussed the im-
portance of the wolves’ role
in maintaining a healthy eco-
system. Trophic cascades, she
explained, is a theory that
helps scientists understand
the role of predators in the
food web and their affect on
the population and behavior
of their prey. “This effect
trickles or cascades down to
other animals, plants and the
environment in ways we are
just beginning to understand.”
