Скачать или смотреть The Incredible Wolf Story of Isle Royale with Rolf Peterson

I sit down with legendary wildlife ecologist Rolf Peterson, who has spent over half a century studying the wolves and moose of Isle Royale National Park — the world’s longest-running predator-prey study. We talk about how he got his start in the 1970s, what life is like on a frozen island in Lake Superior, and what decades of data reveal about the delicate balance between wolves, moose, and forests. Rolf shares stories of flying winter surveys, tracking wolves through snowstorms, and witnessing one of nature’s most fascinating population cycles unfold before his eyes.
