Album: Record of Decision to Introduce Wolves

Isle Royale National Park

The National Park Service (NPS) has prepared and approved a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final Environmental Impact Statement to Address the Presence of Wolves at Isle Royale National Park (EIS). On June 7, 2018, Midwest Regional Director Cam Sholly signed the ROD selecting the Preferred Alternative and authorizing the Park to proceed with this effort to restore the predator-prey dynamic on the island. Approval of the ROD and EIS culminates an extensive public engagement and environmental impact analysis effort that began in 2015. These photos illustrate concepts within this ROD.
