Actually – I watched a national geographic – I think – and it said African Grasslands are disappearing due to overgrazing which is due to the elimination of natural predators. Natural predators drive migration – the herbivores are not given the time to decimate the grasslands.

Also – the herds’ stomping breaks grass seeds – which is needed for germination.

And – the decrease in vegetation impacts precipitation -reducing if not eliminating moisture needed for arable land.

So – predators are important for the health of the earth.

Wolves have literally saved Yellowstone Park

Return of the Predators

Adding wolves to Yllowston actually benefited the entire ecosystem – something environmentalists are unable to do. They have utterly devastated Northern CA with thor timbering and control burn policies. They have literally killed the forests and that is why the state is burning.
