Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park after decades of absence, reshaping the ecosystem and igniting debate about environmental policy. Although the effort produced clear ecological benefits, it also introduced economic and social tensions that continue to influence decision-making today.

Developed in partnership with Retro Report, this secondary resource combines documentary video, a background article, and primary sources with TWR’s writing strategies. Through a sequence of scaffolded activities, students analyze complex perspectives, evaluate evidence, and use multiple sources to develop an argumentative composition on wolf reintroduction.
