When The Wolves Returned is a telling true story of how the wolves were introduced back into Yellowstone National Park.  Scientist had realized that the natural balance of the Ecosystem had been effected because the wolf was no longer a piece of the natural system.  Ten years after the wolves returned, the balance is being restored. 

Not being a scientist, I don't always recognize the small things in nature.  I can't imagine eliminating a population of an animal but it is done.  This story proves that ALL types of animals are essential for the balance of nature.  When one small piece is eliminated, other species will take over.
