Moose and Wolves Isle Royale National Park, the most remote in the U.S., is a very special place, not only because of the arresting beauty of its north country wilderness. With a fixed set of resources and a population of wolves and moose that cannot easily leave the isolated island, Isle Royale makes a perfect laboratory for studying predators and prey. And for nearly half a century, the island has provided insights into the relationship between the hunter and the hunted. Perhaps no other place has been as critical in shifting negative public attitudes toward large predators and increasing public understanding that wolves, too, contribute to the health of an ecosystem.
Many questions remain.
