Case Study
Wild Boar reintroduction to New Forest
Pros
Keystone species like wolves
Similar environment to wolves, but prefers woodland
Considered dangerous/hazardous like wolves, good to compare
Cons
Not actually accomplished, domestic pigs operating as placeholders in ecosystem
Not a predator like wolves, different effect on ecosystem
Lynx reintroduction to UK
Pros
Very similar benefits to wolf
Same prey, but consumes wider variety
Would be reintroduced to same area as wolves (Scotland)
Keystone Species like wolves
Cons
Not actually happened, purely hypothetical, so lacking in data
May not be useful when determining feasibility of wolf reintroduction, more used as another species that could be reintroduced instead (another topic to discuss?)
Wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone
Pros
Same animal so easier to compare
Reintroduction has been completed for any years, not ongoing
Lots of sources available discussing topic
Cons
Very different ecosystems and viable prey
Significantly larger area, moderately different environment/climate
Project widely considered successful, subject to bias
