Short Description:
Anchored in the northwest depths of Lake Superior, Isle Royale is one of America’s last remaining wild places. Fifty six miles of inhospitable waters isolate the island from the Michigan mainland. Explore this wilderness island with worl biologist Rolf Peterson and John Vucetich, as they attempt to make sense of the delicate balance between wolf, moose and climate.
Scientists have been studying the interactions and interdependence of wolves and moose at Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park for half a century. It is the longest continuous predator-prey study ever conducted. Filmmaker George Desort spent over four years with the researchers gathering material for FORTUNATE WILDERNESS.
