LANSING – Isle Royale’s problem with the balance in its animal population is at an all-time high. According to Michigan Technological Institute, only one wolf survives and an expanding moose population numbers about 1,600. The national park located on an island in Lake Superior faces an extreme blow to its biodiversity, but new possibilities for help are on the horizon. The island is a unique ecosystem as the wolf and moose populations operate in a single predator-prey relationship. According to researchers at the Isle Royale Wolf and Moose project, the wolf population reached an all-time high around 1980 with about 50 animals.
