Eastern Wolves: Guardians of the Forest

Eastern wolves, known for their elusive nature, inhabit the dense forests of reserves where they can roam freely without the threat of hunting or habitat destruction. These carnivores play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling populations of deer and smaller prey animals.

In reserves, wolves are provided with large territories to mimic their natural roaming behaviors. Researchers monitor their packs, studying their social structures and hunting techniques. Rehabilitation programs also focus on reintroducing rescued wolves into the wild, ensuring they adapt to living independently.

By protecting wolves, reserves preserve the health of forest ecosystems. These predators maintain the balance between herbivores and vegetation, preventing overgrazing and promoting biodiversity.
