Bob,
This is absolutely about the wolf- and the bear, and the wolverine. It is not only tourists or businesses that want these animals to thrive in Denali, other Alaskans beleive this is important, as well. It's great that you live in the borough, I'm surprised someone who lives so close to a National treasure like Denali NP does not take more pride in it. 
I am an Alaskan, and a conservationist, and a hunter. The wolves in Denali National Park have been reduced by hunting and trapping- not by development. They didn't relocate, arial surveys confirm the reduction in the number of wolves. Like hunting, wolves and bears are part of the heritage of Alaska. We need to ensure that wolves remain visible and viable, this is especially important within Denali National Park. What is Alaska without these predators? It is no longer wild, it is a farm for ungulates.
