and the first stop on my journey is the park's oldest lodge, as it opens its doors for its busiest season yet. yellowstone represents some of the very best america has to offer, and 150 years is a long time. we didn't always get it right. we killed every single wolf in this park. even in the 1960s, we were feeding bears out of garbage dumps. despite fierce opposition, when the park was first established, indigenous people were forcibly removed from their land. until now, their history has been largely untold, the park service is trying to change that. so, 27 american indian tribes that, to one degree or another, were on this landscape prior to 1872.

out by hunters. so people came out here, european americans, specifically, came out and waged war on predators. though it seems yellowstone is a park of two poles, and 27 years ago, wolves were controversially reintroduced to stalk through the valleys once more. it was the first ever attempt at releasing these predators, and remains one of the greatest rewilding stories of all time. i'm just hoping that we really see wolves today. it's been a long drive, we've been up early, so the pay—off has to be wolves. and as if on cue... radio: where are you now? just passing elk creek. amanda, he wasjust telling you he was down the camp ground road. right now, those wolf packs are going to be focused around their dens and caring for their puppies, and so for one particular wolf pack, they're considerate enough to have their den site pretty much within view

yellowstone was one of the world's first national parks. established in 1872, it inspired a movement, and today, there are thousands of them, globally. lakes, volcanoes, and mountains span almost 4,000 square miles of wilderness. home to over half of the world's active geysers, the park is at the core of one of the largest ecosystems on the planet. so this is old faithful. probably one of the world's most famous geysers. and there she goes! oh, my god. it's just spectacular. the snow—capped mountains in the distance. it's hard not to drive with yourjaw open, basically!

i wouldn't be here today without these buffalo. jason, you are making it happen. the work you're doing here is, honestly, nothing short of incredible and i wish you the best of luck with everything, from my heart. well, thank you very much. i genuinely mean that. thank you very much. the bison transfer programme is growing — but slowly. transporting these animals isn't easy. montana laws limit movement forfear of transmission of disease to healthy livestock. the impact of state law can be felt throughout the park, particularly where i'm going next. gardiner is home to around 800 people. and one of the main industries here is taking visitors out to try to try and spot the illustrious wolf. it is obscenely early. i've got to tell you, i am not used to waking up at this hour. but we could be seeing wolves today. so let's hope the wake—up call is worth it.

recent and controversial changes to the law have increased the quota of wolves that can be hunted outside of the park's boundaries, potentially placing these majestic animals under threat, making the work of yellowstone forever increasingly important. hi, amanda. hi, good morning. amanda works for the park's not—for—profit partner to support vital conservation in the area, including keeping track of the wolves. today, we're going to a special part of yellowstone, called yellowstone's northern rim. the special part about this is this is the most wildlife—dense part of what is already one of the most wildlife—dense places in the continental united states. even though this is only 10% of yellowstone, this holds 50% of yellowstone's wolves. but that hasn't always been the case. in the early 20th century the wolves here were wiped

and even though we have done some really good things with tribes over the years, we felt that it was a point in time where we really needed to re—engage the tribal nations. yeah. and for us to not only be able to tell the stories ourselves about american indian history and culture — which is part of our mission — but also to get them in the park... yeah. ..to get them engaged with visitors. and so we've done it. oh, it takes me about four or five days to make a doll. wow. back inside, i meet scott, whose native american ancestors were forced from their lands. he's here not only to sell his handicrafts, but also to later raise his tribal flag over the site. this song is my brother's song. it's a sun dance song.

animal back it heals us. i will attempt to track down the park's elusive wolves that were reintroduced during one of the most successful rewilding initiatives of all time. it doesn't happen too much in human endeavours where your ancestors have made a terrible, terrible mistake in terms of killing off wildlife that you can correct that mistake and make it better and that's what happened here in yellowstone. it's a very positive story.
