Park Service Aiming To Reintroduce Wolves To Isle Royale
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The National Park Service wants to put 20 to 30 wolves on a remote island off Minnesota's north shore.
It says they're needed to bolster the nearly extinct population on Isle Royale.
The reintroduction could happen as soon as this fall, depending on funding and finding the wolves.
Supporters say the move would help preserve the island's ecosystem and reduce the large moose population on the island.
