Summary "An Experimental Translocation of the Eastern Timber Wolf" by Thomas F. Weise et al. is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. The work presents a detailed account of an experimental project that aimed to re-establish a population of eastern timber wolves in Michigan, focusing on the collaboration between state agencies, universities, and conservation groups. The primary subject of the text revolves around the challenges and outcomes of transplanting wild wolves to a new habitat after their native range had been significantly diminished. The opening of this publication outlines the context and motivations behind the wolf translocation experiment. It describes the initial success of capturing and relocating four eastern timber wolves from Minnesota to the Huron Mountain area in Michigan. However, it quickly delves into the complexities faced by the wolves post-release, detailing their movements, social interactions, and ultimately, their fates due to human interactions, including accidental and deliberate killings. This sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the findings, recommendations, and implications for wildlife conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of understanding both ecological and human factors in such endeavors.
