Answer 1

As we know that the grey wolves lived in the desert, mountains, open fields and travels larger distances. These wolves live in small groups and continuously migrate from one place to another and this evolves and good for their survival. The changes to the ecosystem that arose with the exclusion of grey wolves from the ecosystem are as follows:

• Use of land pattern changes which affect the habitat of grey wolves

This affects the loss of their habitat where grey wolves live in and this continuous loss of their habitat would be the reason for their decline.

• Climate change

This also would be a big reason that grey wolves would not be able to survive in the time of climate change.

The classical example of Society developed successful strategies to sustain healthy populations of the wolves in the Yellowstone National Park which became the flourishing place on the earth by the introduction of wolves and ables to maintain the ecological balances and other species such as plants, animals more get healthy population and the credit goes to grey wolves.
