Your Learning Objective: Readers will learn how the gray wolf came back from the brink of extinction and serves as an important species in its environment.
As we are reading about what can cause populations to increase or decrease, this book discusses what caused the gray wolf to almost go extinct and how they were able to increase their population.

Students learn:
** A system can be stable even as things are being added to and removed from it. If the amounts being added and being removed are not equal, then the system will change.

**If the number of births and deaths in a given time are equal, then the population size will be stable.

**If there are more births than deaths in a given time, then the size of the population will increase. If there are fewer births than deaths, then the size of the population will decrease.
