What happens when you reintroduce an apex predator back into its native eco-system? Ruth Hessey speaks with Dr Thomas Newsome about the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park and the incredible ways in which they helped to rebuild the damaged rivers and eco-system. As red foxes and feral cats plague Australia’s bushland, Newsome explains how the return of the dingo could be the key to saving our most endangered species from extinction.
