The tyranny of population growth

Article Abstract:

An analysis is presented on human overpopulation and its environmental, social, political and legal implications. The authors argue that population growth is positively correlated to a rise in the number of regulations restricting human interaction with nature such as hiking and fishing, and therefore is linked to a decrease in personal freedom.

Evaluating Wolf Translocation as a Nonlethal Method to Reduce Livestock Conflicts in the Northwestern United States

Article Abstract:

Research on behavior and mortality rates of translocated wolves indicates that soft releasing in family groups may improve release-site fidelity and reduce homing behavior. This would increase wolf survival as well as the efficacy of translocation as a means of preventing livestock predation.
