Wolf endangerment in Idaho

BOISE, IDAHO

The endangerment of wolves in Idaho had affected the natural balance of nature in the wild life.  Recently, organizations have begun to repopulate and bring wolves back from the endangerment they faced, which helped "to maintain the natural balance, culling out weak and sick animals to keep populations of elk and deer healthy and in check".  If the wolves were to go extinct or lower in population more so, then the natural balance, or sustainability of the wild life in Idaho, would be unbalanced.

Haiku

Alone on the ice
He looks around at his home
Disappearing now

This picture relates to my Haiku, in the sense that as the polar ice caps melt, so does the ice which the polar bears live on.  Eventually the Polar bears will not have anywhere to live and the entire area will be surrounded by water, endangering the animals.  This photo shows the struggle that they are going through trying to keep their homes and their lives.
