- Seit Jahrhunderten jagen und töten Menschen Wölfe. Sie gelten als gnadenlose Killer, und in vielen Teilen der Welt wurden sie ausgerottet. Yellowstone, der erste Nationalpark der Welt, war keine Ausnahme. Menschen schufen sich dort das idealisierte Bild eines Naturparadieses. Für Wölfe war darin kein Platz, und 1926 wurden die letzten Wölfe getötet. Statt die perfekte Wildnis zu schaffen, löste der Mensch in Yellowstone eine Kettenreaktion mit ungeahnten Folgen aus, die das gesamte Ökosystem des Nationalparks aus dem Gleichgewicht brachte. Ohne Wölfe vermehrte sich die Population der Wapiti-Rothirsche explosionsartig. Der Nationalpark versuchte, den Anstieg des Bestands durch gezielte Jagd in den 1960er Jahren zu dezimieren. Der Erfolg war nur von kurzer Dauer. Ohne Wölfe als natürlichen Feind vermehrten sich die Wapitis erneut sehr schnell, und die Öffentlichkeit wandte sich ebenfalls gegen die Tötung der Wapitis. 70 Jahre nachdem die letzten Wölfe durch den Yellowstone-Nationalpark streiften, wurden dort ab 1995 wieder Wölfe angesiedelt. Ein weltweit einmaliges Experiment, das damals wie heute viele Befürworter, aber auch entschiedene Gegner hatte. Für Yellowstone entpuppte sich die Wiederansiedlung der Wölfe als Segen. Denn die Tiere taten, was von ihnen erwartet wurde. Das Ökosystem veränderte sich grundlegend - mit überraschenden Folgen für Tier- und Pflanzenwelt.
- On the outskirts of Yellowstone National Park is Paradise Valley, Montana, home to bears, wolves, elk, and an animal so secretive, few ever get to see it: the mountain lion. Wildlife filmmaker Casey Anderson became one of those lucky few after following the tracks of the elusive cat from his backyard into the world of a mother and her three cubs. It was the beginning of what would become a remarkable relationship that gave Casey a rare glimpse into the life of a mountain lion family and a new understanding of an animal we know so little about.

- For 70 years, the population of the wapiti deer in the Yellowstone National Park in the United States increased unchecked. Without natural predators and despite all human attempts to check the increase of the deer population they kept spreading and destroyed vast regions of the park's vegetation. They literally defoliated the National Park. However, a well-directed reintroduction of 41 wolves between 1995 and 1997 worked wonders: The animals restored the natural balance in the National Park. The wolves hunted the wapiti and, even more crucially, they influenced their behavior so that the wapiti withdrew from the valleys and ravines. The most fascinating result of all was that the presence of the wolf did not only reduce the number of the wapiti from 20.000 to about 7.000 animals, but that the flora in the park also recovered and created new habitats for other species. Scientists and experts call this phenomenon a trophic cascade, a chain reaction created by a change in the food chain within a complex ecosystem. The documentary shows the surprising and dramatic consequences on the park's whole ecosystem that resulted from the reintroduction of the wolf. Contrary to their reputation as mercilessly killing predators, the wolves are creators of new life, restoring the ecosystem that had previously been out of whack.
