## Caption

"Gray wolves in California are iconic, in part because they recolonized our state on their own, dispersing from the introduced populations in and around Yellowstone National Park." — #NatGeoExplorer and conservation scientist Kaggie Orrick (kagglerock)

Their return is a conservation success, but it also brings new challenges and opportunities for the livestock producers and communities living alongside them.

The National Geographic Society is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by supporting the Explorers protecting the keystone species that have sustained communities for centuries. Keystone species define our country's wild spaces — and make them worth preserving.
