 resemble holiday camps. a lot about how beavers depended on the roots and branches of the same cottonwood trees to 
build lodges. They also use the trees to build dams in the water and I was staggered to 
discover that these actually irrigated the wetlands. Without these structures, the land quickly 
became drier.
But lessons were learned, and in the mid-1990s, wolves were reintroduced into the park. As a 
result, the elk left the valleys and the trees flourished again. The beavers returned, 
encouraging new ecosystems – predictably these included fish, otters and ducks in the rivers, 
and mice and rabbits on the land, which provided food for foxes. I hadn’t expected there 
would be such a large variety of birds, though. So it’s clear why the wolves need to be 
monitored, and that’s where we volunteers come in. While research takes place in all 
weather, people might assume it’s in summer that most work is done. But we were told it’s 
easiest to study wolves in winter because that’s when they move in daylight at lower 
elevations and also leave tracks so that’s when I went. We were all assigned a particular 
group of wolves to follow, and when we spotted them, we had to write down the time, the 
place, the number of individuals in the pack, including cubs, and their prey. It sounds easy 
but the wolves were hard to find! Apart from that, and the patience we needed, I couldn’t 
believe the freezing temperatures we had to cope with! Not everyone can be as lucky as I am 
and see wolves in the wild but anyone can get involved by becoming a sponsor, which is 
really worthwhile. There’s information on the park website and there are different levels of 
involvement, depending on how much you want to give – the highest donation gets you 
special gifts including an in-depth report on the project and stunning photographs. Even the 
smallest gift gets you a colourful poster and fascinating snapshots of the work.
Why not get involved? I’m glad I did!
Exercise 2.
P = Presenter D = Daniel
P: This week our special report asks ‘Are we doing enough to help young offenders to 
become better citizens?’. Today, three out of four young offenders who are released from 
prison, go on to commit another crime, and return to prison. These statistics suggest that 
young offenders’ prisons are failing. The government are carrying out a review of the system. 
They say they want to improve young offenders’ access to education, but some people 
believe that the prisons are already too soft. They think that you should make an example of 
teenagers who break the law. They want harder and longer punishments. To talk to us about 
that we have seventeen-year-old ex-offender Daniel Smith in the studio with us. Hello 
Daniel.
D: Hello.
P: Daniel you’ve recently been released from a young offenders’ prison. What’s it like 
inside?
