wilderness wouldn't be wilderness without the animals of the west. controversy continues regarding the endangered species act and specifically grizzly bears and wolves. wolves are the most controversial animals in the wilderness war. wolves were re-introduced to yellowstone national park in 1995. wolves were largely extinct in the lower 48 states by the early 1900s. bruce babbitt was president clinton's secretary of the interior. he was instrumental in returning wolves to yellowstone.
