Libby Whittemore: Two reasons why we need wolvestinyurl.com/5xendaryThis piece is part of a series of guest opinions from Crestview Elementary School 5th graderOne reason we need the wolves is because of river banks. When the wolves were hunting the elk who eat the grasses, they keep the elk from eating too much. According to “Campground Kids Grand Teton Stampede” by C.R. Fulton and Dylan Bakken.Bear Bottom” by Stuart Gibbs, however, when the wolves were gone, the elk ate too much grass. This connects to the river banks because the grass roots hold the banks together, but when the elk eat them, the banks will erode.According to “The Return of the Wolf: How Much Do They Rebuild Ecosystems” on Newsela by Phoebe Weston, with wolves in national parks like Yellowstone the elk stayed away from meadows and river banks to avoid being hunted.ResponseThis helped by allowing these areas to regenerate, this allowed animals like beavers. The result , the aspen went from being grazed down to flourishing.This is short but, I can see that teaching is occuringand with parents the message is being sent. Not all at once, but little people are listening.Moving forward through teenage years the knowledge is extended by visits to the parks and hopefully the desire to become involved. Withyoung adults that may move forward and in timethat’s hopefully transfer to park employment.We must continue to teach the younger brains are quick to attach to new thoughts. It’s very important to continue the knowledge which in the end protects our parks and extends I to the country for a balance environment. It takes time but continuous participation necessary. It’s necessary to grasp people attention and sometimes we have Wolfwatchers who find there way into involvement. You yourself are teaching and we encourage your interest as you are very much involved into the teaching process.Glad to have you here. I am a teacher and I appreciate your involvement .Photo: Getty Images. ... See MoreSee Less

Why Wolves, Horses, and Crows Are More Than Just Animals in Kazakh Culturetinyurl.com/4bf66t63For centuries, Kazakh nomads have revered animals that shaped their way of life, traditions and beliefs. Wolves symbolized resilience, horses were essential for survival, and crows served as spiritual messengers. But what made these animals sacred in Kazakh culture?“Wolf packs never target the strong, young animals or the leaders of the herd. Instead, they hunt from the edges, preying on the weak, the sick, or the young. Why? Because wolves have a vital interest in preserving the herd of artiodactyls (hoofed animals).This natural balance inspired the nomads, who saw wolves as predators and guardians of the ecosystem. The wolf became a revered totem among the steppe tribes, symbolizing resilience, unity and survival. ... See MoreSee Less
