Wolves are a population control for elk, which can overgraze their habitat and cause ecological damage when left unchecked.
Ex.After making a kill and consuming what it needs it'll leave scraps which scavengers rely on.
Since the reintroduction of the wolves Elk populations have decreased while vegetation has been giving the opportunity to recuperate previous population numbers.
After years of wolf culling efforts began in 1995 to reintroduce wolfs to the ecosystem.
