When we were learning about Biodiversity earlier in the year, we learned a lot about food webs and food chains.. Then we learned about the snow leopard. We learned what would happen to its food web and its habitat if it became extinct.
We found a really interesting video that we think you may be interested in. It is on Vimeo so you can watch it in class. Made by Greg Haines, it tells about the good things that happened to the food web and the habitat in Yellowstone Park when wolves were reintroduced. We think you will like it.
Terrific video find! It is amazing to consider all of the unintended consequences of human actions and, in reverse, how one small change can ripple out to have such such an impact. Thank you for sharing the video.

Thank you for your kind comment Mrs. Gehring. We were fascinated by what would happen if the snow leopard became extinct and so left a habitat and were equally amazed by what would happen when the wolves were reintroduced. We are glad it is a good news story.
