Re-Wilding the Planet
Can the re-introduction of wolves change the behavior of rivers? In this TED talk, journalist and environmentalist George Monbiot shows us the impact of trophic cascades using several examples, including the re-introduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park in the United States. By controlling the population and changing the behavior of deer, the wolves gave life to many other species, including animals lower down in the food chain, birds, and trees. Listen to Monbiot's constructive solutions for the restoration of our ecosystems.
