Fitzy Fitz posted:The classic definition of wilderness will need to be discarded soon. Management of all land is increasingly important because natural processes cannot adequately cope with climate change To illustrate this point and others from this thread, should the Isle Royale National Park/Wilderness Area save their wolves ? Last winter the National Park Service announced they'd prefer to reintroduce them. There's been years of debate between people who believe the point of the park should be minimal-human impact wilderness vs the people who want to preserve the current ecosystem. The preservation opinion opens up several other questions too. Which ecosystem should the park preserve? Before the arrival of man the island had lynx and caribou and it was the previous actions of men that lead to their extirpation and arguably the introduction of moose and wolves in the 20th century. It's also not clear that wolves can survive long term without human assistance because of the reduction in ice bridges to the island.
