| English synopsis: The once prosperous population of wolves on the remote island of Isle Royale National Park is about to become extinct. In 2019 only two wolves remain, but their days are numbered. At its peak, the island was home to 50 wolves, but a warming climate and rising water temperatures on Lake Superior has reduced the number and longevity of the ice bridges that connect the island to the mainlands of Canada and the United States. |
