It has been ten years since the first relocated packs of gray wolves ran from their accilimation pens toward a new home in Yellowstone.
NEW SCREENSAVER & PHOTO GALLERY
Enjoy images of the gray wolf and Yellowstone's spectacular wildlife with our exclusive new Yellowstone Wildlife screensaver and Wolves of Yellowstone photo gallery.
Here, GORP takes a look back at its coverage, plus that from our partner site, Outside Online. A dramatic, often controversial project, the decade since these animals were reintroduced has brought joyous success, yet more controversy, and a glimmer of hope for the majestic animals that once roamed freely over most of North America.

We're joined by award-winning nature writer Gary Ferguson and Wolf Project leader Doug Smith with their reflections on the last ten years and what this decade of revival has meant for the future of the wolf. They are the authors of the new Decade of the Wolf, an intimate account of the gray wolf's Yellowstone odyssey, complete with over 50 full-color prints. It is available April 2005 from Lyons Press.
