Wolves are caring and kind-hearted animals. They do more than just attack animals and eat meat. They are one of the most known snd most active apex prededtors. And Wolf attacks on humans are very rare. But, in 2021, Idaho and Montana enacted laws to remove most restrictions on wolf hunting. Well over 500 wolves have been killed in these states alone since last spring, out of a total population of around 2,600, according to government figures. That's just the official tally, the likely death toll is higher.

We first reasearched about wolves and how they went extict first and then we reasearched on how they help maintain ecological balance. We hopped on some few links and found very helpful information there. Then, we started to organize our information on a google doc. Later, we realized that we could have put our information on google slides instead, to make it took more apealling but, it was a little too late. We had already stuck the title up, the thesis and some information. We then researched on our pictures because we realized needed pictures. We found a few graphs and found some other pictures too so we decided to print them in advance so after we are done putting up our information on our trifold, we could put up our pictures. After, we had finished with our pictures and information so then I took the trifold home and stuck up some lights all around it. Later, we ran into a problem. We realized that our information wouldn't stick on our trifold. It came off and it wouldn't stick back on. This was because we had stuck our information on the folds of the trifold. We tried using hot glue to fix it and it worked for barely 5 minutes. Then, we had to tape up our information because it came off. We then worked o the last bit of our logbook and we were done!

We researched how wolves help maintain ecological balance because we need to save the wolves. By showing how many things wolves do for us and the flora region we hope that our presentation helped people understand that wolves are not a threat to our ecosystem and us, humans.

5. Wolves, and no wolves impact (Chart)

we need to save wolves :).

I would like to thank my partner, Arianna, for the biggest help and with the most creative ideas we could ever come up with. I want to thank my parents for pushing me through to get this far. I also want to give a big thanks to Ms.Pond (the host) for helping us when we needed help. She was always available anytime. Me and my partner also really appreciate that she gave us a chance to represent our school. I would also like to give a big thank you to our evaluators for giving us this opputunity to be in the Science Fair.
