The beauty of Trophic Cascades

It was on Youtube that I came across this video of a Trophic cascade, after a pack of wolves were introduced to the Yellowstone National Park in the United States. A trophic cascade is a chain of events that starts at the top of a food chain and cascades down to the bottom. Watch the two videos below to know more,


 
The wolves and Yellowstone National Park.

The video is amazingly beautiful and intriguing. This particular Youtube channel Sustainable Human also has a few other videos on the same topic and also on nature. There was one more that caught my attention on how Whale population is critical for Oceans.

 
The whales and the ocean.

The video dismisses the claim that killing whales are good for fish population of the sea. The beauty of Trophic cascades are amazing. I have also read similar stories on Shark Population etc. It is amazing to read and know how nature works and rejuvenates itself.

Do have a read on Trophic cascades if you love nature and our planet.
