Book cover

In William L. Robinson's thought-provoking book, readers are taken on a fascinating journey into the world of wildlife conservation. Through his detailed account in "An Experimental Translocation of the Eastern Timber Wolf," Robinson explores the intricacies involved in an ambitious project to relocate the endangered Eastern Timber Wolf.

The book dives into the scientific and ethical considerations surrounding this experimental translocation, shedding light on the challenges faced by conservationists and policymakers. Robinson's writing style is engaging and seeks to captivate readers, ensuring that they are fully invested in the story being told.

One of the strengths of this book lies in the author's ability to present complex scientific concepts in a way that is easily understandable to non-experts. Robinson takes the time to explain the various factors that contribute to the successful reintroduction of a species and highlights the vital role of collaboration between different stakeholders.

Alongside the scientific and ethical dilemmas, the book also delves into the emotional and psychological implications of the translocation. Robinson shares insights into the experiences and emotions of the scientists involved, providing a human touch that resonates with readers on a deeper level.

However, some readers might find the scientific details overwhelming at times, wishing for a lighter balance between scientific explanations and storytelling. Nevertheless, Robinson's passion for wildlife conservation shines through, eliciting a sense of urgency and empathy for these magnificent creatures that are clinging to survival.

In conclusion, "An Experimental Translocation of the Eastern Timber Wolf" is a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities surrounding wildlife conservation efforts.

FOREWORD

The Fish and Wildlife Service is proud to present this bulletin describing an experimental attempt to re establish an endangered species in part of its native range. Two States, a Federal agency, a university, and two private conservation groups pooled their resources to make the project possible. This effort exemplifies the type of cooperation the Department of the Interior believes is imperative in beginning the gigantic task of trying to save and restore the threatened and endangered animals in this country today.

Our pride is bittersweet, however. The experiment was a complete success in providing the information sought: What might happen when a pack of wolves is transplanted to a new area where the native population has been all but exterminated by Man? It was the answer to this question that was disappointing. Nevertheless, experiments are for learning, no matter what the answers may be. We are convinced that the answers provided by this project will ultimately be most helpful in future attempts to restore endangered animals to parts of their native ranges where they can begin again on the road to recovery.
