The presence of apex predators improves habitat quality and species viability down the food chain. This reintroduction could be a model for repairing ecosystems.
An interview with DEC biologists in 2015 explained that three extirpated carnivores (wolves, cougars, and Canada lynx) were removed from the state's proposed list of Species of Greatest Conservation Need in order to focus on extant species within the state, and that there were no plans by the DEC to reintroduce wolves, citing a lack of public ...
When the wolves are on the list, advocates say the protections help wolves' place in the natural environment and allow them to roam the great American West as they did for hundreds of years ...

Other vocalisations of wolves are usually divided into three categories: growls, barks and whines. [4] Barking has a fundamental frequency between 320–904 Hz, [18] and is usually emitted by startled wolves. Wolves do not bark as loudly or continuously as dogs do, but bark a few times and retreat from perceived danger. [4]
The proposed legislation notes, “wolves are an important component in establishing and maintaining a biologically diverse ecosystem” while pointing to studies in Alaska and Canada that ...
