Planning for the future of Isle Royale

There are only three wolves left in Isle Royale National Park — and that has reignited a debate over what to do with the park.

The dying wolves and the resulting boom in the island's moose population are only part of the story. Some suspect the effects of climate change are to blame.

The National Park Service will hold a series of open houses on the issue.

The first one is scheduled for today in Michigan.
