Summary

This study presents the hypothesis that the physical changes in the Peace-Athabasca Delta in northern Alberta (resulting from damming of the Peace River upstream), have favoured the wolf populations in Wood Buffalo National Park at the expense of bison (both plains and wood bison), and that there is urgent need to reverse the hydrological regime.
