Moose first appeared on this Michigan island in the first decade of the 20th
century, apparently by swimming from the mainland. (With no predator to

vegetation in search of food.

Today, moose are essentially the only supply of food for the wolves, and wolf
predation is the most typical cause of death for moose. But the wolf population

The National Park Service is expected to decide this year (whether to save
the Isle Royale wolves a decision that will test our ideas about wilderness and
our relationship with nature.) This is because the park is also a federally
designated wilderness area where, ( A ) federal law, “man himself is a visitor
who does not remain." If we intervene to save the wolf, will we be undermining

Conserve
The park service has three options: conserve Isle Royale's wolf population by

genetic rescue; reintroduce wolves to the island.(if and when they go extinct;
do nothing, even if the wolves disappear.

As the lead researchers in the study of wolves and moose, we favor
~を推す
conservation or reintroduction.
But more important than our view is the
reasoning behind it.
Wilderness is conventionally viewed as a place (where nature should be
従来
allowed to take its courses free ( f ) human interference. This is essentially
自由にする
the principle of nonintervention that has guided America's relationship with
wilderness areas for roughly 50 years.)
The principle of nonintervention touches on fundamental conservation
~に関わる
wisdom. But we find ourselves in a world where the welfare of humans and the
FOR
biosphere faces considerable threats-climate change, invasive species and
生物図
altered biogeochemical cycles, to name a few. Where no place on the planet is
untouched by humans, faith in nonintervention makes little sense.

These realizations have led a number of environmental scholars to consider

The future health of Isle Royale will be judged against one of the most
important findings in conservation science: that a healthy ecosystem depends
critically on the presence of top predators like wolves (when large herbivores, (like
存在

t.) ( With Dot) top predators, prey tend to become overabundant
moose) are present. Without

and decimate plants and trees that many species of birds, mammals and insects

depend on. Top predators maintain the diversity of rare plants and insects. The
loss of top predators may disturb the nutrient cycling of entire ecosystems. In
addition, predators improve the health of prey populations by weeding out the

weakest individuals.
(Given that moose will remain on Isle Royale for the foreseeable future) the
