Nice George Monbiot article about reintroduction to UK of wolves and lynx. Long overdue IMO.
He doesn't even mention the benefits from Wolves of keeping live deer moving so they can't eat out any particular area, which was one of several unanticipated keystone effects when Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone, allowing regeneration of riparian woodlands and the consequent enhancement of Beaver landscape scale eco-engineering.
