Doug Smith served as a wildlife biologist at Yellowstone National Park for nearly three decades and studied everything from beavers to birds. Most importantly, he led the Yellowstone Wolf Project, which reintroduced gray wolves to the park. He’s written numerous scientific publications and has been featured in four National Geographic television specials. He has also written and edited several books about the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, including the 2023 book: Yellowstone’s Birds: Diversity and Abundance in the World’s First National Park.
Yellowstone National Park contains many stories, including one of the best-case studies in wildlife conservation. This program explores how the landscape has changed since the wolves arrived, including never-before-seen photos and videos of the quest to bring back this apex predator.
