Should Ireland reintroduce wolves?

Some environmentalists are hoping to see wolves return to Ireland. They say the presence of an apex predator can have a massively beneficial trickle-down effect on an ecosystem - as documented in Yellowstone in the US.However, there would likely be much opposition to such a move - with possible threats to humans and livestock among the main concerns. In the eighth episode of Ireland 2029, we explore whether or not the country should reintroduce wolves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
