A new release carries a blunt message about wolves in two famous national parks. Its headline says the wolves of Yellowstone and Grand Teton need a miracle in 2018.
Yellowstone and Grand Teton lie next to each other in northwest Wyoming. Wolves roam across both parks and the land between them. So the headline treats them as one group facing one hard year.
Only the headline of this release is available, though. It does not explain what puts the wolves at risk, and it does not name the people or groups behind the warning. Nor does it say what they ask the public or officials to do.
What the headline does make plain is the level of concern. When an announcement says animals need a miracle, its authors believe ordinary measures will not be enough. In this case, that worry is aimed at the year 2018, when the release says the outlook for these wolves is poor.
