Before people understood their importance in the ecosystem, the grey wolf was hunted almost to extinction. Because of this, the wolf population grew much too large. They overgrazed and caused significant reduction in the population of elk. When the grey wolf was reintroduced, they began to naturally control the population of elk. This allowed the cottonwood tree population to flourish. After several years of adjustment, all three populations balanced out and showed healthy oscillation in the ecosystem.
