Can anyone list a positive thing that introducing this wolf has done?
IMHO the Canadian Provinces would be hard to correlate with what we have down here because of the enormous area they encompass and the relative lack of hunting compared to the USA.

VERY good question.
The standard answer of better riparian habitat in some areas previously used heavily by elk/moose is pretty weak, all things considered. If you have to hang your hat on that...wow.
Oh, but I forgot...the city folks can come out and hear a wolf howl now and again and be joyful that wilderness still exists! After all, the wolf is THE symbol of wilderness. Well, it may be for some people that have sucked up the marketing like there is no tomorrow, but they seem blind to the mess the number of wolves we have now and have had for some time is causing otherwise.
