Yellowstone: A Cutthroat Business

Overview

Yellowstone National Park faces an unprecedented crisis as a relentless foe threatens its delicate ecosystem. The culprit is not human encroachment but an invasive species: the Lake Trout. Discovered in Yellowstone Lake nearly three decades ago, this voracious predator has decimated the native Yellowstone Cutthroat trout population, leading to dire consequences for the entire environment. As the park's natural balance teeters on the edge of collapse, the fight to save this iconic treasure intensifies, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts to restore and protect one of America’s most cherished landscapes.
