Returning the Wolf to the Northwest

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1995, vol. 11, issue 01

Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began reintroducing wolves to the wilderness areas of Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in 1995. Based on the experiences of other areas and surveys of recreational users, increased visitor expenditures are expected to accrue to nearby communities as wolf populations are recovered. Decreased expenditures by hunters and increased livestock losses by ranchers may be more than offset by increased visitor expenditures, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates.
