Wolves Biologists state the environmental health and sustainability of an area, region, or system can be determined from the numbers of species at its margins. At the upper biological margin the species would be the wolf, lynx, grizzly, and elk while at the less noticeable level would be earthworms and appropriate diatoms. The existence of these species does not guarantee system balance. Even larger areas ─such as a national park, limit mobility. Thus, many natural areas can be thought of as living natural history museums. In order to be successful, biologist state natural areas should be broadly connected across local areas, states, nations and continents using large natural barriers such as deserts and water bodies to define movements. Life is a biological mosaic interdependent on the whole,
─"the Web of Life", and the greater the species at the margins, the
more in balance and sustainable. Wolves are an important species in that regard. |
