Every wolf was hunted and killed in Yellowstone‚ and once the wolves were gone‚ the ecosystem became very unbalanced and many species started to either die out or be overpopulated. As for methods to help sustain species‚ core reserves and wildlife corridors are very effective methods. Core reserves are natural areas for organisms away from
