Benefits on Ecosystem:
Coywolves are a natural predator and would be able greatly benefit the ecosystem by regulating its prey's population. Some of the animal populations that coywolves would help to regulate include deer (predominately in Short Hills Provincial Park); Canadian geese; raccoon; squirrels; and rabbits. By regulating its prey's population it helps to make and keep the local ecosystem sustainable by ensuring that its preys population does not exceed its carrying capacity. This is beneficial as populations that are kept at or below their carrying capacity have enough food to eat and do not have to overgraze. This helps to ensure the survival of other animals as there would also be food left over for them to eat.
How Coywolves Benefit Parks:
Before wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone national park the conditions of the people were similar to that of Short Hills Provincial Park. The elk population in the park had increased rather rapidly and had exceeded the park's ecosystems carrying capacity. The elk were so overpopulated that they had almost wiped out the willow shrubs in the area. Once the wolves were reintroduced to the park they helped to regulate the elk population which allowed the park to recover from the damage that the elk had done. The wolves also help to maintain healthy wildlife herds as they tend to target either slow, sick, old, or physically impaired as they are easier to catch. This helps to improve the overall health of the herd as it is mainly the healthy prey that get the opportunity to reproduce.
If coywolves were reintroduced to Short Hills Provincial Park then they would be able to help regulate the deer population which is currently six times greater than the park can sustain. This would help to reduce the damage that the deer are doing to the park and the vegetation in the park would get the opportunity to start recovering. This would also help farmers as the deer would no longer need to eat farmers crops as there would be enough food located within the park for them to eat.
