HOW WOLVES CHANGE RIVERS is a great short video that you can open and watch by clicking on the link below...........The storyline follows the John Laundre and Bill Ripple LANDSCAPE OF FEAR paradigm which postulates convincingly that "fear and intimidation are far more common in nature than we realised, with surprising consequences not just for animals but for the entire landscape".............While this paradigm has been challenged in recent years by other biologists, if one reads closely all the competing literature, it seems to reveal that while predators like Wolves, Pumas and Grizzlies might not be solely responsible for promoting healthy landscapes from their top down trophic impacts, they are in fact significant contributors in keeping natural systems, "natura;", helping to optimize biodiversity via their coursing and ambushing of prey animals.............Enjoy the video.................and the Psychology Today article that reflects on THE LANDSCAPE OF FEAR
